Stars shine on the surface of this globe, which depicts the constellations in the sky as though seen from above, rather than from the surface of the earth. For this reason, constellations like the “Big Dipper” (Ursa Major) near the north pole appear backwards. Scientists used the globe to calculate various astronomical and astrological data. While the positions of the stars allow us to calculate the general time period the globe was made, an Arabic inscription in the Southern Hemisphere dates the object using three different calendar systems: the Islamic calendar (Hijri), the Zoroastrian (ancient Persian religion) calendar, and one based on the death of Alexander the Great.For the latest information about this object, globes, visit art.thewalters.org. | Dynasty: | Inscriptions: | Reign: | Style: | more | less
