7 different beautifully curved CocoRibs in one package.  Each rib is a different size or shape.  The smallest rib is approximately 2 inches long, and the largest is 5 or 6 inches across the long dimension.  All are made from a renewable resource, coconut shells.  Great for handbuilding and throwing.  Shapes are ergonomic, fund to use, and work incredibly well.  Coconut shells are very tough to begin with, but the ribs are finished with mineral oil for extra durability.
