"Anti Antikythera" is the first piece in the 2013 series.
Replica of an ancient Greek artifact, secretly recovered from the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea. Don't ask what this enigmatic device does. For, though I do believe I have duplicated every component of the original, down to the last detail, every time I have turned the crank, I have lost whatever memory made of what was observed! Shown with optional display base.
