Summay:

Art kite made by Frank Schwiemann (Germany). Two long, curved, black fiberglass spars run vertically along the kite and cross over each other at top and bottom and have a small wooden bead as a detail on the ends. These are met with one vertical spar in the middle and six horizontal spars, four of which extend out 20" on each side to provide balance to the kite. These can be removed for storage. The twelve small kite sails sit at the intersections of the spars and are pieces of handmade, coated paper in blue-green.
