Good one, but the water is moving, circulating, it seems.
Comment on Anyone knows what is this? Dutch East India Company ship, 1600.

(my first guess would be compass – but normally more common to have the needle floating on water inside the casement rather than the whole casement floating on a bowl of water)

There was water driping from the ceiling and splashing making it look like it was moving. They were sailing through fog and probably couldn’t use the stars to orientate themselves. Compass seems very likely, thanks cerement!
