The unit arrives with a fine natural-sand packet and a balanced pendulum arm; when set swinging, the bead traces looping ellipses and spirals across the tray. Built from a combination of plated metal, plastic detailing, and an attractive black finish, the pendulum measures 39 × 15 cm and weighs about 700 g — sized to fit office desks, living-room side tables, and bedside dressers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the pendulum make different patterns?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePatterns change based on the pendulum's starting angle, the force you give it, and where the sand meets the tray.
