AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The whole body is made of solid brass. There are carved knobs on both sides of the barrel. By turning the knob, you can switch the month, date and day of the week independently. The mechanical roller structure is precise and the adjustment feels smooth.
The edge of the utensil is decorated with exquisite bead-point relief, and the base is equipped with a flocked cushion to avoid scratching the tabletop. The naturally formed warm and moist patina remains on the brass surface. Every texture carries the texture of the times. It does not require power and can be recycled permanently. It is a very stylish furnishing for study rooms and desks.
