Words and beautiful, colorful drawings describe the life cycle of the silkworm from egg to cocoon, to moth to silkworm again within a circle.

The area outside the circle explains and depicts how the silken strand is released from the cocoon and made into yarn and cloth.

The back is filled with further fascinating silk information.

Beautiful for a studio wall or great teaching tool spanning science, culture and history.

Measures 18.5" x 18.5" and includes 5 Bombyx Cocoons
