Description
The Tamed Sampler features a curated collection of 9 cards, artfully merging the essence of homebound pets with their untamed ancestors. Wrapped in a detailed frame that boasts the double helix, lively butterflies, the iconic World Tree, and the evolutionary emblem—the Darwin fish with legs—this series pays homage to the intricate dance of evolution.
