Muši Ráj — Butterfly Paradise

I’ve seen this variously translated from Czech as bird’s paradise, butterfly paradise and flycatcher—made from straw, paper, and sometimes dry fruits it was magical and said to represent the sun the stars and the world. It was traditionally hung over the table in the holy corner at Easter.
