Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 764.2 Hz, 44 cents flat of G5. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
An armillary sphere made by Franciszek Słupski in 1771, scanned and drawn with splats. Its rings stand for the great circles of the sky: the equator, the tropics, the band the Sun follows through the year, round a small Earth at the middle. Astronomers used such spheres to teach how the sky moves.
Tap it and the inner rings turn inside the frame.
