Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 735.4 Hz, 89 cents sharp of F5, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
A painted miniature of a knight on an armored horse, captured from photos and drawn with splats. Medieval knights wore plate armor made of steel pieces that were shaped to fit each person, and horses had cloth covers called caparisons over their own armor.
Tap it and the figure rocks back on its base as the horse rears, then lands. Drag to circle it and look at the raised sword, the shield and the horse's cloth.
