Diptych Dial
Unsigned
Dated 1543; Nuremberg
Ivory and brass; 55 x 87 x 14 mm

This is a very early dial, whose maker's mark has not been identified.

The inscription on the inner side of the lower leaf is a little obscure but probably refers to the precision of the dial for all the latitudes where it can be used.
