Product Details Brand : HANZLA COLLECION Material : Brass Finish : Antique Weight : 1.1 lbs Approx Overall Size : 4 x 1 x 7.5 Inches, 10.2 x 2.5 x 19 cm Approx Review: Centuries Old Navigation Instrument - An interesting item , it came from the city of Roorkee in northern India and took a month to make it to California . It looks like it was made from a mold of a very old { centuries at least } astrolabe . All the writing is in Arabic and I think it is missing a part , I think it should have a pointer on the back to calculate the angle above the horizon of a prominent star to find your latitude . These were navigation instruments used before sextants came along . It consists of 3 parts , the bottom is the Mater which represents the earth as a level disk with no curvature or motion , the top is the Rete which represents the night sky showing the prominent stars which rotate around the north star , and in between are plates showing detailed info relating to celestial bodies when viewed from different latitudes . Its heavy brass and polishes up to a beautiful luster . Enjoy . Review: Should have been the Astrolobe I bought in the first place. - Great Astrolobe! Only problem was it not having a Sexton on the back. But that was described anyway. Overall, it's better then I thought, after getting one before that was all disappointment.

Thanks! ### ⭐ Not as pictured *by A***R on February 25, 2020* The delivered item does not have a wingnut for changing the disks and seems to only have one disk. the picture clearly shows a removable wingnut and screw attachment as well as different disks. The metal face is also poorly aligned and scratches the disk inside when rotated. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hanzla Collection Vintage Antique Brass Astrolabe 8" Arabic Globe Navigation Astrological Calendar - Antique leather bound brass telescope 6" with wooden Box --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/46638791-vintage-antique-brass-astrolabe-8-arabic-globe-navigation-astrological-calendar](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/46638791-vintage-antique-brass-astrolabe-8-arabic-globe-navigation-astrological-calendar) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
