Made from powder-coated metal with a hand-hammered texture and matte copper-patina finish, the bowl measures 11\" in diameter and 2.4\" high, weighing about 1.09 lb. It’s supplied with an anchoring chain so you can connect it directly to the end of most rain chains and position it on the ground or a pedestal as a decorative water feature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the basin help keep water from splashing at the bottom of a rain chain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe basin captures and redirects the energy of falling water so it does not slam onto hard surfaces or scatter soil.
