Backstaff
The backstaff is made from a lignum vitae frame with boxwood arcs, brass-capped rivets, and a boxwood sight vane, horizon vane and shadow vane, the latter with a Flamsteed lens. There is an inlaid boxwood plate on the main strut. The sight vane and shadow vane have brass pressure plates to hold them tightly in place on the arcs and the sight vane has an inlaid brass pinhole. Small decorative motifs are stamped on the lower end of the thirty degree arc.
