- Lot Description
A vintage Chinese hardwood compass commonly referred to as a Loupan, but it is also known as a Feng Shui or geomantic compass. It features a circular dial with intricate concentric rings filled with Chinese characters and symbols, as well as markings in 24 directions translating to 15 directions per direction. Each degree on a luopan approximates a terrestrial day. Also unlike a typical compass, a luopan does not point to the north magnetic pole, but the south one.
Dimensions: 6.5-inch diameter
