Thuban
What you seeAn engraved star-atlas plate of Draco on a parchment ground, with a fine coordinate grid, a chequered border and Thuban picked out in gold.
What it meansFrom al-thuban, 'the serpent' or dragon. Nearly five thousand years ago Thuban was the pole star, the point the northern sky turned around.
Where it worksSits well among old maps and brass in a study.
