A suspended metal gong brings a room to attention before it is even struck. The greenwash surface has the look of aged copper, with a warm golden centre and darker, weathered tones across the face.

Placement and simple care
Place it on a stable, level surface where the stand can sit fully supported. It suits a meditation space, yoga room, quiet hallway or studio corner where it can be seen as well as heard.
Dust the wood with a soft dry cloth. Keep the metal surface dry, and avoid harsh cleaners that could disturb the greenwash finish.
