AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Decorative bronze armillary sundial with Atlas figure.

This special sculptural object combines classical mythology with astronomical instruments. The sculpture shows a powerful Atlas-like figure carrying an armillary (astronomical sundial).

The armillary consists of multiple rings of bronze, brass, and copper with engravings and Roman numerals. The different metals and the natural patina give the object a rich and classical appearance.

Armillaria were historically used to visualize the movement of heavenly bodies and the position of the sun. Today they are beloved as decorative objects with a scientific and classical look.

The object forms an impressive decorative element for interior, conservatory, or garden.

The natural stone column is not included.

The object is shipped very carefully and professionally packaged:

• corner protectors
• insured shipping with track & trace

Pickup is of course also possible.
