Ivory sundial bearing the Hans Tucher mark and the Nuremberg "N" for quality objects. Extremely rare with its original black leather case gilded with small irons on 4 small brass feet.
Note : the declination is West. In the 16th century it was on the right, i.e. East. It is therefore likely that the background paper has turned over the years.
Dimensions : length of 10,8 x width of 5,6 x thickness of 1,8 cm.
Nuremberg circa 1585.
Reference : D ex P5
