  Made in two size: 2 1/2" square base; and 3 1/4" square base
  
  
• Dodecahedron - 4" diameter (20 vertices, 30 edges, 12 faces). This shape represents ether (spirit), or in some teachings 'the whole' - the cosmos.
  
  
• Icosahedron - 4 1/2" diameter (12 vertices, 30 edges, 20 faces). This shape represents water.

Construction:

• Natural wood, with an attractive matt oil finish
• Arbutus (Madrone) branch handle - various diameters and lengths
