However, when the desktop globe comes alight, the earth's physical attribute become faintly visible on the model's exterior.

The map was placed on the acrylic sphere by hand. Columbus' experienced artisans manually cut the map, and then applied it to the desktop globe one piece at a time. The handmade quality of the illuminated globe ensures each model's singular artistic value. Bring the extraordinary Columbus Tuebingen Illuminated Desktop Globe 20 Inch into the home or office!
