A 19th-century Malby-type mahogany table globe stand,
for an 18-inch diameter globe, converted into a table -- 41cm. (16 1/8in.) high

It is graduated in degrees of amplitude and azimuth, with thirty-two compass points, days of the houses of the Zodiac and days of the month and an equation of time.
