Mane

Cut down the length of the cone so the face comes out as a broad arrowhead, wide across the shoulders and tapering to a blunt point, with a scalloped edge where the scale ends break the outline. Near the top the core sits as a pale cream oval with an ochre centre, and from it the scales sweep down in long cream and rust rays, dark brown lines running between every row. Four small white seed ends sit in the lower middle, and below them the rays close into a darker red-brown band that runs to the tip.

The resin is thick and glassy over the cut face and rounds off at the rim, so the scalloped tips are sealed flush and a few white highlights sit along the upper left. A few small bubbles are caught in the lower half. It hangs from a coiled wire loop on a pale braided cord, and the pale core stays the first thing you see as it turns.
