A stencil to create cistercian number glyphs. Glyphs are "stacked" on each other to create a single number. 0-9 are created by adding lines to the upper right of a center vertical line or “stave”. By rotating the stencil you can add lines to create any number up to 9,999 with a single glyph - just use the stave to align the center line.
Cistercian numbers were created in the middle ages by monks, about the same time as Indo-Arabic numbers were introduced. They were used by monks and adopted by wine makers to date corks. Now they are an obsolete but interesting historical footnote.
