Due to the avid interest of the eighteenth century ruler, Jai Singh II (1688–1743), Jaipur became a centre for the production of astrolabes. This silver astrolabe has a tubular eye-piece commonly seen in astrolabes produced in Jaipur. The reverse of the top section is inscribed with the co-ordinates for Greenwich.
