Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 340.6 Hz, 43 cents flat of F4. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
Cinnamon stars are small star-shaped cookies baked at Christmas, above all in Germany, Switzerland and Austria. They are made with ground almonds or hazelnuts, sugar, egg whites and cinnamon, often with little or no flour, and are topped with a crisp white glaze of beaten egg white and sugar.
Tap it and it crumbles into pieces and crumbs that fall away, then puts itself back together. The glaze goes on before baking, and a low oven keeps it snowy white.
