AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

table-top armillary sphere with Atlas supported by a knight, reminiscent of a classically inspired model like those produced by brands of design and historic furnishing. The armillary sphere (or spherical astrolabe) is an ancient astronomical and educational instrument composed of a frame of concentric metallic rings in brass and wood that represent the equator, the ecliptic, and the coordinates of the celestial sphere.
The statue, made of dark metal, that supports the sphere evokes the figure of a soldier or a knight.
with rings in gilded brass and wood.
