The compass opened the world to exploration and discovery. Invented by the Chinese thousands of years ago, it is thought that sailors used the first rudimentary compass in the 12th century, when they started navigating the world.

The brass compass is both fun and educational and makes a great gift with a story to tell. The compass comes in a gift box and measures 5 x 6.5 x 1.5cm.
