Replica Astrolabe - an early
navigational device that was
invented around 200 BC and was
used until it was
replaced by the more advanced
sextant. An astrolabe
can be used to calculate latitude,
tell the time, and measure
the height of a large object,
such as a building.
This fine replica was made by
