Medal, Miniature Reproduction of the Nautical Astrolabe Pendant

The Nautical Astrolabe was a great advance as a navigation instrument for maritime routes. Through the experience of the navigators it acquired a definitive form. Measuring the height of the stars we obtain the Latitude.

This Portuguese nautical astrolabe (1550-55) was owned by the skipper of a small Dundee ship, A. Smyton. The original is in the Art Gallery and Museum in Dundee, Scotland.

The two sides of the pendant are identical.

Non-functional instrument.
