Cowrie shell and black grass ornament on a 80 cm stand

Key measurements for finding the right location:

• Width: 80 cm
• Base Depth: 10 cm
• Total Height: 65 cm
• Weight: 0.5 kg

All you need to know about the materials:

• Material: white cowrie shell collar, black-dyed alang grass fan
• The rigid collar serves as the frame; nothing else holds the shape
• 80 cm wingspan, the widest piece in the selection
• Only 500g despite its size
• Black lacquered iron base and stem
• Indoor use

This is the widest object in the selection, wider than it is tall, which makes it difficult to place and spectacular when it is. It requires a surface of at least one meter, a long sideboard or console, and must not be flanked by anything on the sides.

What you need to know to install and maintain it:

• Hang upside down for a few hours to reopen the fan
• Never straighten the strands one by one, they break at the base
• Step back against a wall, each brushing lays down a handful of strands
• Allow for a surface of at least one meter
• Indoor use
