Composed of paper gores in olive green over a hollow metal core, featuring an adjustable cast-metal meridian with bronze finish and a wood horizon ring with color-printed paper calendar and zodiac.
Used as a scientific demonstration tool by the University of Michigan's Astrology Department (as hand-etched into the metallic-finished metal base).

Remains an important artifact in fair, vintage condition.
