Armillary spheres or globes have become an icon of science and luxury decor with their elegant rings and beautiful silhouettes. This zodiac armillary globe decorative statue makes a great gift for a star sign lover. Designed to track the stars and the heavens as we spin through space. This design holds the wisdom of centuries, with versions of this globe dating back as far as 146 BC. These instruments are made up of a set of graduated rings representing circles on the celestial sphere, such as the meridian, equator, ecliptic horizon, tropics, and colures. With the aid of an armillary sphere, one can track the path of the Sun for any given day of the year or determine a star's coordinates. The earth is represented by the brass sphere located at the centre of the armillary sphere. The Armillary Sphere axis is tilted like Earth's axis is tilted. Handcrafted brass astrological / celestial sphere made by master artisans who employ techniques and traditions that are centuries old. That means there may be some natural imperfections, these are not product flaws, just part of the magic that makes each piece so unique.
