This automata brings the graceful movement of a manta ray to life. Crafted from beech wood and walnut, with the back finished through a carbonized technique, it highlights the natural beauty of the wood while adding a refined touch.

Through careful carving, multiple adjustments, and precision balancing, this piece creates both a striking static presence and a smooth dynamic motion — as if the manta ray were swimming freely in the air.

Benefits:

• Coastal-Calm Motion – Hypnotic wingbeats echo the rise-and-fall of gentle ocean swells for an instant Zen reset.

• 400 mAh Rechargeable Battery – USB-C powered; enjoy hours of cord-free tranquility anywhere.

• Artisan Craftsmanship – Solid beech body with black-walnut accents; every grain tells its own shoreline story.

• Space-Friendly Footprint 24 × 24 × 18 cm size anchors a tranquil nook without crowding your space.

It is a perfect gift for:
– Ocean and nature lovers
– Collectors of unique automata and kinetic art
– Anyone who enjoys artisan wooden crafts
– Birthdays, anniversaries, or special occasions
– A thoughtful desk or home decoration piece

Each piece is handmade, so the wood grain and finish may vary slightly — making every manta ray one of a kind.

          Your Questions, Answered!

          The slow, repeatable motion encourages a short, screen-free pause—many owners use it 2–3×/day for 30–60s.

          Not at all—the mechanical friction sound is super light, perfect for office or study.

          Nope, it charges with a Type-C port. Built-in 400mAh battery, one charge lasts a long time.

          About 2 hours for a full charge and up to around 5 hours of continuous motion.

          We recommend avoiding direct contact with high-temperature objects as they can damage the wood. Always use the automata in a stable environment to preserve its quality and lifespan.

          Our automata are crafted from high-quality natural wood, such as walnut or beech, selected to highlight the beauty and durability of the material.
