Quadrant
Unsigned
Dated 1567; French
Brass; 82 mm in radius

This quadrant has the standard features of unequal hour lines and indication of the declination of the sun.

The back of the instrument is blank except for the profile of a bearded man, possibly an unusually elaborate form of maker's mark.
