A round, transparent compass pendant with double-sided peripheral frosted yellow scales, open to the centre and enclosed by two domed glasses. The scales are hand-decorated with red and black cardinals. The compass sits in a curb-link surround and dates to the early 20th century.
The compass swings freely, making it easy to find north. This compass would make a great pendant or a superb addition to any collection.
