                  Specimen #01131, 8/19/2001 
                  Size: 6 inches across 
                  Composition: Acrylic sphere with 23 karat gold leaf, 
                    14 karat gold filled wire, sterling silver wire, #11 steel 
                    scalpel blades. 
                  Collection site: TBD 
                  Comments: The acrylic sphere has a magnifying effect, 
                    so even the slightest change in angle makes the image of the 
                    gold leaf underside move in an exaggerated way. It's a little 
                    disconcerting, which is a good thing.
