Part of the Water Clock,
Drum Tower, Beijing

This is a replica of an ingenious Song dynasty clepsydra (water clock). The clock was regulated by the flow of water between the three buckets arranged in a "staircase" on top of the device. A cylinder, holds a level stick which indicated the time according to the water level inside the cylinder. (5 years and 3580 days ago)
