Measuring instrument (price meter) consisting of a round wooden disk with a rotating pointer on a lead as. On the top and bottom, a division in compass strokes is suspended, the main areas and intermediate streets are indicated by a star-shaped figure. Perhaps this was an instrument for measuring rates on a sea map or making a sketch of the route followed and mapping a sea area. It could also have been a compass judge for finding the corner between true and magnetic compas
