The Sloane Astrolabe, around 1300. The star pointers for the rete are zoomorphic, mostly in the form of a dog's head or dragon's head. The tips of the animals' tongues form the actual pointers. Several calendrical scales, also engraved on the back, enable the user to calculate the dates of the
moveable Christian feasts. M AND ME, Sloane 54.
