The 18th C. Atlas Armillary Dial number GL051 by Authentic Models is a part of the Antique Globes Collection and measures 22H x 10 inches in diameter and weights 15.26 lbs. and is packaged in kraft box, label. An interesting mix of early science and Greek mythology: One of the legendary Titans battling Zeus was defeated and decreed to carry the weight of the world on his mighty shoulders. Forever. Our armillary dial, however, has Atlas carrying the entire universe. Thats to say the known Renaissance universe, when the earth was still believed to be at its center. Gracefully intertwined silver rings symbolize the position and trajectories of heavenly bodies around the earth. In all aspects ethereal, science combined with beauty, myth with historic fact.
