Celestial table globe. Astronomical details on the sphere show a table with text below Cetus. To the right of this there is a labelled magnitude table, and to the left there is a labelled table for precession. The Megallanic Clouds are labelled and the Milky Way is drawn. In total, 27 stars are named, others are incomplete and there is one star group. The 48 Ptolemaic constellations are drawn with names in Latin, Greek, transliterated Arabic and occasionally transliterated Hebrew. Four of the non-Ptolemaic constellations are drawn, as well as the 12 southern constellations of Plancius. The constellations follow the Saenredam style first introduced on Blaeu's celestial globe of 1598 but with various deviations, the most important of which is that the Indian, who represents the constellation Indus in the southern sky, is smoking a pipe.

In about 1608, Arnold left the northern provinces, taking with him a series of printed gores of a terrestrial globe of 1589. The copper plates for these gores, however, remained in the northern provinces with his brother Hendrik, and a printed celestial globe was not published until 1630. This manuscript globe probably predates the printed one of 1630, since its epoch is said to be 1625 and that of the printed globes 1630. For full details about the cartography and construction of this globe please refer to the related publication.
