Abstract
The display apparatus includes a multi-sided or annular shell which may serve as a container per se for displaying an article or combined with a decorative outer shell to form a composite container. A suspension system for the container includes a plurality of brackets, each forming an aperture with adjoining side walls of the container or inner shell, flexible lines and a connecting element including a universal joint for suspending the apparatus from a support. The lower end of each line has a keeper for preventing withdrawal of the line from the bracket. The lines at their upper ends are secured to a wire loop having a hook superposed over a ball for forming a universal connection with the support.
