Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 397.2 Hz, 23 cents sharp of G4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A celestial globe from a university museum in Kraków, scanned and drawn with splats. It is a map of the sky, not of the Earth: the stars and the figures of the constellations are painted on a ball, as if you saw the sky from outside. The flat ring round it is the horizon; the brass ring over it is the meridian.
Tap it and the ball turns in its rings, as the sky seems to turn overhead each night.
