Garden Armillary Sphere on Pedestal
As opposed to the classic flat sundial, an armillary sundial is characterised by its spherical shape, often referred to as an armillary sphere. Invented by the ancient Greeks, this open spherical framework consists of a number of interlocking metal rings that showcase how they believe the universe worked, with the earth at the centre and the stars moving around it.

Base: 28 x 28 cm (11.02 x 11.02 in)
Widest part of the armillary: 58 cm (22.83 in)
Armillary ø: 27.5 cm (10.82 in)
CONDITION REPORT
Good structural condition. Small chips and losses, particularly to the base. Transports as 2 pieces: the sundial threads into the top.
