Four of the fans are on the top level of the bottle with two fans positioned opposite each other and slightly higher then the other two fans. Between these fans are two mallets positioned between the fans. Between the slightly lower fans are two large birds mounted to the side of the upright center pole. The top level is supported by two round columns covered in printed paper. On the lowest level are fans on three of the sides and a large cross on the fourth side.
