Its note

Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 987.6 Hz, 100 cents sharp 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.

How to play

Tap it to make it sway; drag to turn it.

About it

A sprig of physalis, also called Chinese lantern or cape gooseberry, captured from photos and drawn with splats. Its fruit grows inside a papery husk that turns bright orange as it ripens; the husk is the plant's lantern and guards the berry.

Tap it and the stem sways and settles, its lanterns swinging with it. Drag to circle it and look at the thin veined husks and the green leaves above them.
