A brass sundial compass is a combination of traditional instruments: a sundial and a compass, are made from brass. Compass: A compass is a navigational instrument used for determining direction. It typically consists of a magnetized needle that aligns itself with the Earth’s magnetic field, pointing north. Compasses can also have additional features such as degree markings and a rotating bezel for measuring angles or bearings. A brass sundial compass combines these two functions into a single, decorative piece. The sundial is often integrated into the compass’s housing, with the gnomon casting a shadow onto the compass dial, which may also have directional markings. This type of instrument can serve both as a timekeeping device and a navigational aid, although its accuracy may be limited compared to modern timekeeping and navigation tools. Brass is a common material for such instruments due to its durability and aesthetic appeal. Brass sundial compasses are often used for ornamental or decorative purposes, and they make for interesting and nostalgic pieces of decor or gifts with a historical and functional charm. They can be found in various designs and sizes, catering to different tastes and preferences. The compass is also known as the Sundial Compass, a Brass, Navigational instrument for Timekeeping, Decorative, Home Decor
