Decorative model Floor globe 9.00 x 12.50 x 9.00 cm, Artesania Latina (25593)

Armillary sphere - a model of celestial harmony
This elegant decorative object is a historical replica of the armillary sphere, which was used in ancient Greece and China as a symbol of astronomical knowledge. It models an imaginary celestial sphere with the movement of the stars around the Earth or the Sun and serves as a visualization of astronomical concepts that have been relevant for thousands of years.
The name comes from the Latin armilla - "ring" or "bracelet", which perfectly conveys the construction of this object: the sphere consists of graduated metal rings that mark the equator, meridians, parallels and the orbit of the Sun.
Ideal as a gift for lovers of science, history or as a stylish detail in the interior - from the office to the home library.
