One of my table top creations. The name for this type of item is an ORRERY! Steampunk inspired but based in real historical science (the concept, not the actual system shown!). In real life it would be much larger and mechanical with moving gears and whatnot... a way to see the planets and other heavely bodies move around each other and their star no matter it it were our solar system or another. In this case we must settle for a non moving minature replica of this far flung alien star system complete with large miniature style slender base in dark copper, really a bronze finish, pink gold sun surrounded a whopping total of NINE planetary bodies including main planets and moons of various sizes and colors like blue, green, earthen bronze, copper, silver, golds, etc.! Each one is perched on a gracefully curved and bouncy wire in their orbits. Done in various metallic finishes. And at the bottom of the base you'll find a faux mother of pearl inset in metal "start" button... alas, no... See less
