Hi all, I'm currently building the Santa Maria from Amati and I got to the masts and got to these things. Has anyone an idea what those are? Noting gets tied to them in the instructions? (Rather bad and inconsistent instructions I must say.)
Is it some kind of bellaying pin.
Thanks in advance.

I could imagine that two of these elements are together one of these belaying "horns" (sorry I do not know in moment the correct term)

Looking at this photo - please be aware, that Amatis (master)modeler made a bigger error and installed all blocks wrong (the hole for the running rigging is wrong)
 
Oh yea, now I see. Odd design for sure. Now I have the terminology, thanks. Now to find how ropes where actually fastened to them. The photo seems a bit weird. Not using the ''horns''.
Thank you for the quick answers. I hope I can understand the rest of the rigging. I do not understand the Italian plans, nor the italian and french instructions.
And as far as the english instructions go, not even an a4 for the whole build. Thank god for the pictures even if they are inconsistent.

I think that these Kevels were used for tying off larger lines, see pics below,

Wrong, as just in upside down. The hole should be on the top side?
Also a note to myself, only use this forum on Pc, not on mobile. Thank you @neptune for the pictures, did not see them on mobile.
 
oh yea, what I thought. Was not so far yet, but would have noticed. I worked on a real sailing vessel that had modern blocks, but they had a wheel inside them and were indeed flipped the other way as compared to the pictures.
I really do not understand how a company makes these mistakes, shoud they not know better?

The device called Kevel (kevil, or keval)
A "kevel" on a 16th-century ship was a sturdy, horn-shaped piece of wood, usually secured to the deck near the ship's bulwarks, and used as a tie-down point for mooring lines or heavy ropes.

These are various forms of early cavils. Belaying stations for ropes and cables.
