The wonderful craftsmanship of our craftsmen has
brought alive the antediluvian instrument of Armillary. Available in
beautiful designs they are a quintessence of consummate artistry.
Function: An armillary sphere is basically a skeletal
celestial sphere with a model of the Earth or, later, of the Sun
placed in the center. It is useful as a teaching tool and as an
analog computer for solving various astronomical problems to a crude
degree of accuracy. Armillary spheres were developed by the Greeks
in antiquity for use as teaching tools.
