Category Proposal: Compass Point Designs


Recommended Posts

Putting my request in the queue:

 

Designs using compass points.

 

Usually, these are tiled or etched into the concrete/stone as designs, but I have also seen some statues with them.

 

Qualifications:

- They can either be Mariner compass points (minimum the four cardinal points - N E W S, but more commonly eight or 16), or a ring with N E W S at minimum.

- Usually flat on the ground, but may accept those on a wall

- Must have at least either N(orth) or other origin design to designate North (or, if in the southern hemisphere, there might be some that use South). If it doesn't have any, it's not compass points.

- Permanent (means that in a year or so someone can come to that spot and identify it).

- Actual compasses only if they are permanently mounted at that location (perhaps this would be a subcategory).

- Extra points for testing the accuracy of the points to a real compass (I have found one that was well off).

 

Perhaps this fits as a sub-category under 'Public Art'
