An Islamic Brass Celestial Globe on Stand with Engraved Zodiac and Script.
An Islamic brass celestial globe, modelled as a spherical body mounted within a circular meridian ring and supported on a four-column stand with a broad circular base.
The surface of the globe is finely engraved with zodiacal figures, constellations, and celestial grid lines, interspersed with inscriptions in Arabic script. The meridian ring is similarly decorated with engraved markings and script, framing the rotating sphere.
The stand features four turned supports rising from a circular base, giving the piece a balanced and architectural presence. The brass surface displays a warm, aged tone, complementing the intricate engraved decoration across the globe.
