A painted wood earth with revolving moon, a rectangular plate representing the asteroid belt, and at the center a brass sphere representing the sun. The orrery is turned by hand using a knob on the outer part of the sphere. The flat brass band encircling the sphere is affixed with an instruction label on the outside, and the ecliptic and constellations in the zodiac belt on the inside. A central front label is mounted on a rounded plate showing part of the northern sky including the serpent constellation. Displayed on a raised, domed cast iron base with gilt-line decoration.
