A sash buckle, I would have said.
Your table has a scene of a bacchanle & little goat's feet, so we can guess what it was used for. [ATTACH]
Did notice that, unlike for the Pacific, there is nowhere to read the time in the middle of the Atlantic, making one gap.
Something for knowing what time it is there when it is this time here. Maybe there was a timepiece that could sit in the center? It's a 24 hour...
