About this work
The twice-bent arm ends on one side in a spiral decorated with curls and a stylized bird's head, and on the other in a round thickening with a threaded hole, in which the hourglass holder is placed. The arm has a round eye that can be attached to the pin of the (missing) mounting piece of the pulpit. The holder has six balusters.
