Centuries Old Navigation Instrument
An interesting item , it came from the city of Roorkee in northern India and took a month to make it to California . It looks like it was made from a mold of a very old { centuries at least } astrolabe . All the writing is in Arabic and I think it is missing a part , I think it should have a pointer on the back to calculate the angle above the horizon of a prominent star to find your latitude . These were navigation instruments used before sextants came along . It consists of 3 parts , the bottom is the Mater which represents the earth as a level disk with no curvature or motion , the top is the Rete which represents the night sky showing the prominent stars which rotate around the north star , and in between are plates showing detailed info relating to celestial bodies when viewed from different latitudes . Its heavy brass and polishes up to a beautiful luster . Enjoy .

Should have been the Astrolobe I bought in the first place.
Great Astrolobe! Only problem was it not having a Sexton on the back. But that was described anyway. Overall, it's better then I thought, after getting one before that was all disappointment. Thanks!

Not as pictured
The delivered item does not have a wingnut for changing the disks and seems to only have one disk. the picture clearly shows a removable wingnut and screw attachment as well as different disks. The metal face is also poorly aligned and scratches the disk inside when rotated.

Exactly like in the picture
Great quality, heavy-weight and a perfect replica of the original medieval astrolabe.
