The sphere has is a metal pivot at both poles and fits into a domed wooden case. The globe is divided into hour circles every 15 degrees, with parallels for every 10 degrees. The equator is graduated twice, in degrees and hours, and the ecliptic is graduated in degrees and labelled with the symbols of the signs of the zodiac. Stars on the sphere are represented by different symbols and marked by their Bayer notation. The Milky Way is labelled, as are 31 stars and one group of stars.
