 It has 6 seperate and freely moving layers, each within the other. A fascinating and incredible piece of artistry and workmanship. Alot of work goes into these detailed designs. It comes on i t's own teak display stand and is available in different size balls from 8 layers to 18 layers. HOW ARE THEY MADE? The sphere is turned on a lathe then conical holes are drilled towards the center. The maker has a set of "L" shaped tools the one with the longest upright has the shortest cutter and the one with the shortest upright has the longest cutter. Starting with the longest tool he lowers it to the narrow bottom of each hole in turn and rotates it to cut the innermost ball free. Then he gets the second tool which does not reach so far down the hole but can cut a wider arc and separates the second ball. He continues working from the innermost to outermost shell. For obvious reasons, usually only the outermost balls are elaborately carved. The outer layer is twice as thick as the inner layers. This is because the two outer layers are fused together. The reason for this is that the outer layer with the dueling dragons is carved so deeply that if it were free moving it would be too fragile and shatter, so it has to be fused to the 2nd layer to make it strong enough to avoid breaking. The very inner ball at the center is also counted as a layer making up the total number of layers. Therefore counting the center ball and the other moveable layers will make up the total layers of the ball minus two layers, those remaining two layers are the ones fused together making up the outer shell. For example - an 18 layer ball will have 16 moveable layers (including the center ball) plus the 2 fused outer layers. |

Each item is unique, no two will be exactly alike. Therefore you will not find another item exactly like yours in somebody else's collection. When you receive your item it will be slightly different than the item in the photograph in the catalog.
This is due to individual styles from one artist to the next, or differences in pigments used from one day to the next in the shop that made the item.
Our bronze items are made in the old way - the lost wax method - and they are all "antique looking" .
All our products are cleansed of negative energy and empowered with positive Sheng Ch'i.
