Summary
A matt black globe subdivided into parallel grooves of latitude and longitude. There are no terrestrial or celestial markings on it. A brass or brass-coloured semi-circular arm bears the numerical degrees of latitude north and south of the equator. The globe is supported on a black, turned, circular wooden base. There are some shiny black areas on parts of the globe which obscure the grooves of latitude and longitude.
