I don't know if you can really make it out, but you can see the edge of the wooden base refracted through the curved glass. And through the top half of the hourglass, you can make out the fourth wooden pole - again, refracted through the glass.

Diddles are extremely welcome. -- Graeme Porter -^-_ _ / [_][_]_:_ Proud owner of a 1978 /| _||_ v Pearl Fiberglass Shell kit | / \ | -=/=\\____//=\=jaa "I married Miss right, I just didn't know her first name was 'Always'" -- Anonymous
