"Sun Compass" is a scientific instrument created in 1809 by Rasmus Dekker. It is a brass and wood device designed to determine direction by using the sun's position in the sky. The compass is housed in a wooden box, measuring 45.5 cm high, 33.2 cm wide, and 32 cm deep. This object is a testament to the ingenuity of early navigators and exemplifies the intersection of scientific principles and craftsmanship.
