This gold and ivory instrument is a qibla indicator – a device that gives the direction of Mecca. One of Islam’s five pillars is to pray towards the holy city of Mecca, an act shared daily by Muslims across the world. Made in the 1580s, this instrument has a compass and a sundial that can be used together to determine the time and direction of prayer. It was designed to work at 41 degrees north – the same latitude as Istanbul. It’s finely detailed, is around 11cm across and has a depiction of the Ka’ba in the centre.
You can see this object and many more that trace our shared stories of faith in our five-star #LivingWithTheGods exhibition – link in bio.
