As a means of recording the passage of time, the 15th century was the century which lasted from 1401 to 1500. Constantinople, the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire, falls to emerging Ottoman Turks, forcing Western Europeans to find a new trade route. Spanish and Portuguese explorations led to discovery of the Americas and the sea passage along Cape of Good Hope to India for the European civilization. After this discovery, transportation increased between all continents of the earth. The Papacy was split in two parts in Europe for decades, until the Council of Constance. Tamerlane established a major empire in the Middle East and Central Asia, in order to revive the Mongolian Empire. The Inca Empire rose to prominence in South America. The 15th century was a bridge between the Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the Early modern period. From Wikipedia under the

It's made of metal and it looks like it's been covered in some sort of paint to prevent it from corroding. It's 3'8" high and about 14" across. At the top there is a cross cut into the metal which is almost equal in height and width (though slightly longer in height). It's something I inherited from a relative and I'd love to learn more about it. What I know is it's Swiss and from the 15th century.
