Brass armillary (5 inches) sphere sculpture with wood base. metallic dark gold finish over the armillary sphere, orbs, equatorial, poles, and numbered meridians; carved numbers throughout the north-South meridian and astrological symbols and names carved into the metal center ring.
The concept of the celestial sphere was fundamental to astronomy from Antiquity through the Middle Ages and into the early Modern era. At the center of the sphere is the Earth. As the Earth is stationary in this model, it is the celestial sphere which rotates about it and acts as a reference system for locating the celestial bodies – stars, in particular – from a geocentric perspective.
The celestial instrument is composed of rings that represent the principal circles of the celestial sphere. The brass sphere at the center of the armillary represents the Earth. Armillary spheres or globes have become an icon of science with their elegant rings and beautiful silhouettes.
