Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 445.2 Hz, 80 cents flat of B♭4, 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 iron meteorite from Morasko, near Poznań in Poland, scanned and drawn with splats. Iron meteorites come from the metal cores of broken asteroids. The Morasko irons fell about five thousand years ago, leaving small craters that can still be seen.

Tap it and it turns half way round to show its other side, so the light runs over its pitted surface, then turns back.
