The dial is marked with Dutch weather terms (Storm - Veel Regen - Regen or Wind - Veranderlyk - Goed Weer - Mooi Weer - Zeer Schoon) and the designation "Holosteric Barometer". At the back there is a metal hanging eye. Condition: In good, working condition with normal signs of use. The woodcarving is beautifully preserved and has a nice warm patina.
