Solar System Model
1998

A three-dimensional artistic representation of the solar system with planets arranged on concentric circles against a dark, star-speckled background. The sun is depicted at the center on a stand, with various planets, including Earth, Mars, and Saturn with its rings, orbiting around it. The piece has a vintage or antique appearance, with a textured, weathered look to the surface.
