It's about six inches wide. I dismounted it from its plastic surround, took the silver off the back with a combination of paint remover and gentle steel wool scraping (really cleaning it well, nice and transparent) and then sprayed the cleaned side with a couple of layers of flat black enamel. I mounted it with hot glue on a black painted triangle made of masonite, just to protect it. The masonite has a hole in one of the apexes, through which I've threaded a loop of black twine. This I wear over head and shoulder so it hangs at my side. On a trip through a dark wood - or your available equivalent - this is a handy tool to have, to stop and meditate and veiw the astral scene around. Just remember to blacken the convex side, not the bowl face - Walk in Brightness, everywhere
