Item Details
Description

An antique Islamic engraved bronze globe originating from around the 18th Century. This globe rests on an axle within a graduated ring allowing for full rotation of the entire sphere.

Numerical symbols are illustrated on each band and Arabic script is seen throughout the globe. These globes were used primarily in the Islamic world for solving problems in celestial astronomy. They would be created with representations of the stars and constellations and their relative positions in the sky to be calculated by the location of the observer.
