This picture shows an old mechanical measuring device lying abandoned on a table, marked by time. The device, with its metal arms and central dial covered in dust, appears to have once taken precise measurements, but now it lies unnoticed in the darkness. A yellowish bracket or guard in the centre of the device contains some springs and metal parts that may have come from inside the apparatus.

The exact function of the device remains enigmatic, but it tells a story of past precision and use now replaced by decay and stasis.
