A 100-mm water globe permanently rests on a base of agglomerated stone. The base is a decorative article of agglomerated stone depicting mounds of three-dimensional iridescent snow and a few three-dimensional “snowman” figurines. The globe, which is filled with distilled water and iridescent glitter, contains two skiing “snowman” figurines. Thus there are three-dimensional “snowman” figurines of agglomerated stone both inside and outside the glass globe, as well as three-dimensional mounds of snow of agglomerated stone outside the glass globe.
