Description

Also this one is developed as floater and complete all around. The photos of this one are better, but also here - quality; that means sharpness, luster, color and assemble are much better in person. I try to explain the assemble: imagine two pyramides, both with the basal face at the bottom, one with the longitudnal axis more roatated to the front, the other one with the longitudinal axis more rotated to the back-side.
