The earliest type of timekeeping device was a sundial, which indicates the time of day by the position of the shadow of some object exposed to the sun's rays. As the day progresses , the sun moves across the sky, causing the shadow of the object to move and indicating the passage of time. What a cool gift; the Sundial Compass not only has a sundial but also a compass; both of which are handmade. Brass, glass - Gnomon of sundial folds down - 3.75" D (not including corner screws) x 1.25" H (with gnomon folded flat), Gnomon: 1.75"H Show more
