About this work
Barometer and thermometer on a walnut board with a carved head with shell ornament and dolphins. In the lower part, the thermometer is attached, over the mercury of the barometer. The sawn-out scale plate is made of copper. The mercury reservoir is lined with root walnut, provided with a sliding cover and has two legs, so the instrument can also stand. The instrument is marked: "Ps. Wast Fecit Amsterdam".
