Does anybody know what is this thing? I am writing a blog post and want to fill the alt text for this image. I would say that is an astrolabe, but looking at picture online I can't fine any similar to that.

And any idea about this other artifact? A calculator? Some kind of ciphering machine?

@sergi astrolabe is a model, where this is a measurement device? Maybe a search for early tools for measuring astronomy angles?
