sun catcher

Hanging light catcher

A sun catcher is a small decorative object, usually made of colored glass or crystal, designed to hang in a window where it catches sunlight and casts colorful reflections or rainbows into a room.

Sun catchers range from simple prisms to elaborate stained glass pieces: The sun catcher in the kitchen window throws rainbows across the wall every morning.
