This 3D model represents a classical Armillary Sundial on a Pedestal, a timeless symbol of astronomical study and human curiosity about the cosmos.

Historical Background:The armillary sphere is one of the oldest astronomical instruments, used since ancient Greece to model the heavens. Its rings symbolize the major circles of the celestial sphere, including the equator, meridians, and zodiac paths.
Originally developed by astronomers like Hipparchus and Ptolemy, these devices were vital educational tools throughout the Renaissance, inspiring both scientific exploration and artistic expression.

Today, armillary sundials are celebrated not only as instruments but also as beautiful decorative pieces symbolizing knowledge, discovery, and humanity’s eternal quest to understand the universe.
