Armillary spheres were historically used to teach the concepts of spherical astronomy. Comprised of a skeletal sphere, a model of the Earth is at the center of the armillary, with the encircling bands representing the outer sphere of fixed stars. The armillary sundial tells solar time when the arrow, corresponding with the Earth’s axis, casts a shadow on the equatorial band. Evoking the grace of ancient civilizations, no classic home should be without an armillary.
