Hardwood maple top with 5 different disks that fit around the handle that can be changed out for a different design. The whole are held together by a cardboard strip (original retail packaging). The top is made from an unpainted wooden disk with a red-painted wooden handle inserted through the center and protruding out the bottom to create a rounded point. The bottom of the wooden disk is printed in blue with the logos for Children's Art Exchange, 1% For Peace, and Learning Materials Workshop. The disk designs are 2 plain white disks; half black and half white with black speed lines; a black and white keyhole design; a multicolored fractal star on a purple ground; a children's drawing of the earth on a black ground with white spots; a butterfly with wings made of a Russian flag and a United States flag; the 1% For Peace logo on a red ground. The retail package shows the butterfly design with the words, "PEACE POP TOP".Context
