Description and lore
Captured shadow is contained for an instrument that disguises a handheld object's appearance.
Bright tropical sun makes the captured shadow especially conspicuous. On an ordinary work surface, its dark outline demands a second look.
Similar-sized tools lie side by side on a cleared bench. The maker chooses one to place beside the completed illusion instrument.
