Palm-sized papery pod with concentric copper mineral rings, a green central seam and tiny pale kernels visible only in the open form. The green seam parts by a few millimetres. Copper rings rise slightly from the papery skin, exposing three pale kernels within the slit. A dry rattle becomes a seven-position phrase, then a generous bright cluster. This answer form represents three two two. Sound design: Seed shaker, woody marimba and root brass. Native use and wake write its own small state. No native audio or automatic image animation.
