• Skeleton Structure: The intricate frame is crafted from naturally grown bamboo, selected for its strength and flexibility. It features numerous radial ribs that open into a graceful dome.
• Handle & Shaft: A sturdy, smooth-polished wooden or bamboo handle provides a comfortable, manual-opening grip.
