Platta till ett timglas. Åttasidig träplatta som har spruckit på mitten och består av två delar. Totalt fem genomgående hål längs ytterkanterna. Text in English: Eight-sided wooden plate identified as the end cap for a sand glass (hourglass), the most common type of time-keeping device on board ships until the 19th century. The size is correct for a half-hour glass, which was used to time the watches and the length of a man?s ?trick? as steersman before he was relieved. Vasa carried at least two sandglasses, but probably many more, since they were easily broken.
