Astrolabe Star Navigator Gold Pin

This stunning Astrolabe Star Navigator gold pin is a decorative artistic interpretation of the classical instrument used to identify stars, planets, determine latitude and more. Astrolabes date back to ancient times and are highly versatile tools with gorgeous detailing. This pin is all gold-plated metal and has three plates total. The top plate, called a "rule" on a real astrolabe and the middle plate, both fully rotate independent of each other. This is pin is plated in highly polished gold metal and measures 3" round. This pin features four posts on the back for added stability because of the size, weight and balance of the piece. 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. International shipping may be more expensive than other items due to the weight of this piece.
