Hour-glass
A 15-minute glass with a white sand filling. The cylindrical stand is made from beaten brass with cutaway sides. The cutaway part has a wavy edge and a knobbly embossed pattern around the edge. It is decorated on the sides and the bases with the coat of arms of the diocese of Bayeux: a fleur-de-lys and a double-headed eagle.
