It is made of a pinkish buff clay, slightly burnished, with a pale cream slip. The clay is well-levigated and free of inclusions. The interior of the bowl is decorated, sometimes carelessly, with red paint. Parallel lines run along the rim and the interior of the shoulder, with a row of diagonal lines between them.In the center of the bowl is an image of a rider, also in red paint. The horses legs are straight but pointed inward, suggesting the suspension phase of a gallop. The horses head and tail are indistinct, with both running into the painted decoration at the shoulder. The rider consists of a torso and a large head, with a longer arm extending toward the rear of the horse and a shorter arm toward the front. A thin curve, representing the bow, runs from the head through the longer arm and continues faintly on the other side. The bowl was apparently hHead. Alberto Giacometti; Swiss, 1901-1966. Date: 1934.

Kleman & Zoon, after George Stebbing, 1825 compass Compass with ruby point on a wooden pedestal, with rose. The rose has a brass cap in the middle with hole in front of the pen at the bottom: the rotation of the rose was improved by the materials used, while fluctuating by increasing the ruby's friction surface was reduced. The rose, which is badly damaged, can be turned within an outer edge, on which a bowl is applied in degrees per quadrant; This was to compensate for the magnetic variation (the angle between the actual north and the magnetic north). The second rose is of the same type, but the cap is equipped with a gem, presumably agate.
