It's heavy, stainless steel about 30cm tall depending on which way you orient it.

It has 4 sides and each are different shapes of triangles.

The smaller inside lines all appear to bisect the legs.

I discovered it in a classroom. I'm the new teacher and the outgoing teacher didn't leave much information. The class was used to teach chemistry and other subjects.

"It has 4 sides and each are different shapes of triangles." That makes my ocd unhappy. But the sign with the dog makes me happy again.
