拍品专文

While German examples of this type of object are known, for example one bequeathed to the British Museum by Octavius Morgan in 1888 (1888.1201.332), the present example is unusual in that it is engraved in Italian. Like the example in the British museum the calendar offered here is also engraved with the important festivals along with the signs of the zodiac.
