Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 856.2 Hz, 147 cents flat of B♭5, 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
An old oil lantern, the kind people carried on farms, on boats and on camping trips before flashlights were common. A cloth wick soaks up oil from the tank at the bottom and burns at its tip, and the glass globe keeps the flame safe from the wind while letting the light out.
Tap it to light a flickering flame inside that warms the glass with an orange glow; tap again to put it out. A metal frame and a wire handle let it hang from a hook or swing from a hand.
