This woodcut is for a print which can be folded up into a sundial in the form of a crucifix. The date is inferred from the words 'anno obsidionis' (the year of the siege) which is taken to refer to the seige of Vienna by the Turks in 1529.

Information from The British Sundial Society: Bulletin Archive

This woodcut is unusual because the design includes tabs to join the various folding sections of the device together.
