Based on His Dark Materials trilogy of books by English author Philip Pullman here is my own unique replica design of the symbol reader, the truth measure, the Golden Compass.

Description of the Alethiometer:
The Alethiometer, nicknamed the symbol-reader, was a compass-like device that was used to communicate with Dust and find truthful answers to one's questions.
The name of the object comes from the Greek aletheia (truth) and meter (measure).

This is a great gift for this cult movie lover or for anyone adventurous and of course for truth seekers ;-)

“Perhaps some particles move backward in time; perhaps the future affects the past in some way we don't understand; or perhaps the universe is simply more aware than we are.”

The compass is fully functional and points to the magnetic north.

Opening mechanism like an old pocket watch.

Measurements:

Diameter- With external ring: 7.5cm only compass: 6cm
Weight- 145gr

Comes inside a gift pouch from recyclable materials
