Measures about 3.00" wide and stands 4.25" tall, finished with rose engine embellishments. Hollowed out to reduce weight, and to provide space for cord storage, weighing in at 195 grams (6.9 ounces).
The cord measures about 6 feet in length, with a hidden cord-loop attached to customized poker-chip button, that press-fits lightly in the top's opening. The tip is turned as well, from black Delrin plastic.
