Artistic Sextant is a work of art from India, where each piece is handmade with the utmost care. The length of the device is about 12 cm , which makes it a practical and aesthetic accessory.
A sextant is a traditional navigation tool that has been used for centuries to measure the angle between the horizon and a celestial body, which allows you to determine your latitude at sea. In modern times, although its navigational functions have been superseded by modern technology, the Artistic Sextant serves as a beautiful decorative piece that attracts attention with its shiny gold finish and precision craftsmanship.
Using the Sextant involves the ability to operate its moving parts. To use this instrument:
- Set the sextant to the angle you want to measure.
- Point the telescope at the object you want to determine ( e.g. a star).
- Use the adjustable screws to precisely align the image of the object with the visible horizon in the eyepiece.
- Read the result on the calibrated arc – this will help determine the necessary angles.
Artistic Sextant is offered with the option of personalization through engraving , making it a unique gift for special occasions. Each piece is slightly different, which further emphasizes its uniqueness and character.
This elegant instrument is a great choice for anyone who appreciates history, science, as well as beauty and class in their surroundings. We invite you to purchase this a unique artifact that will bring a touch of elegance and history to any interior.
