      The recently established Bellows Conjecture asserts that each oriented flexible polyhedron in \(\mathbb{E}^3\) conserves its volume during a flex. It is also known that each flexible polyhedron in \(\mathbb{E}^3\) conserves its mean curvature during a flex. In this paper the author constructs a flexible polyhedron in an open half-sphere \(\mathbb{S}^3_+\) which conserves neither volume nor mean curvature during a flex. The polyhedron is a modification of a polyhedron constructed from four spherical digons in \(\mathbb{S}^3\).
