We should ask Shadowheart. But not until we get to Baldur's Gate, she won't tell us anything before then.

They're knick knacks. Not everything has a purpose.

Sailor, a good portion of ancient primary historical documents from Greco-Roman, Egyptian, Babylonian and Persian philosophers, scientists, administrators, rulers, mathematicians touching on most ordinary to obscure issues have been lost through neglect, being burned as heretical, buried and forgotten, or destroyed through various other unfortunate, unforeseen tragedies or mishaps, like the ancient Alexandrian Library or the late antiquities stored in Rome that were burned by Germanic invaders when Alaric’s Goths sacked and destroyed Rome in 410 C.E.


Even some treatises and works written by Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Pythagoras, Cicero, Ovid have been lost or only fragments of works published by them, so it’s plausible that maybe some ancient philosopher did discuss it or make mention of it, in direct terms or anecdotally.

Widge’s hypothesis seems very plausible and if we’re reviewing it from strictly subjective standpoint, it does come across as an engineering measuring device, or sophisticated, ancient mathematical stick because the Romans were extremely meticulous, rigid engineers and surveyors when it came to planning, devising and implementing their limes (fortifications) that surrounded, protected their large, immense empire from Armenia to borders of Scotland at their height under Emperor Trajan in 117 C.E. It took Romans nearly a decade to construct Hadrian’s Wall that divided Roman Britain from Caledonia. Often times, Roman legionaries would be used or co-opted along with local labor to build their roads, aqueducts, arenas, hippodromes, crypto porticoes, cemeteries, military siege equipment. Romans loved extremely well-thought, highly structured, disciplined plans and instructions.

Please don’t give the conspiracy theorists any ideas

But I've already put the patent in for a giant mask.

Oh, so a gadget not a knick knack.
Perhaps used for flexing your fingers.
