3.5-inch celestial globe
The globe is fixed on a black wood stand and possesses no other accessories, like a brass meridian or hour circle, usually found on larger globes. It is made of twelve gores which come from a woodcut. Some characteristics of the celestial mapping are: Antinous was not depicted; Eridanus was depicted as a female; the hounds of Boötes were depicted; and finally the "Notae" or magnitude table of stars was added to the gores.
Two cartouches were engraved: one for the dedicacy, and one for the signature.
