Description: | A largely complete, postmedieval pocket sundial, with a removable, screw-on lid that can be placed on the bottom of the sundial when open. The chapter ring is engraved in Roman numerals, and supports an engraved bridge holding the gnomon (vane), which is hinged to lay flat for compact storage.Such pocket sundials were introduced in the middle of the 18th century.
