This stunning Astrolabe Star Navigator Gold Ornament is a decorative artistic interpretation of the classical instrument used to identify stars, planets, determine latitude and more. This ornament is all gold-plated metal and has three pieces total. The top plate, called a “rule” on a real astrolabe, fully rotates, the two plates beneath are fixed together and do not spin.
This ornament comes with a chain and keyring meant to allow it to hang from hooks. Though a keyring is included to hang this ornament decoratively, it is not recommended to be used as a keychain. You can also remove the chain if you wish and lay it flat on a surface for display. This is a decorative item only and does not function as a fully working astrolabe.
Due to the large size and delicate features of this item, each unit will be wrapped in a small sheet of bubble wrap and shipped in a sturdy padded mailer or a box. International shipping may be more expensive than other items due to the weight of this piece.
