A vintage desk globe featuring a fabric-covered sphere illustrated with a pictorial zoological map. The map depicts various animals in their geographic locations, accompanied by labels in Cyrillic script including АФРИКА (Africa), АМЕРИКА (America), and names of animals such as ЗЕБРА (Zebra) and БЕЛЫЙ МЕДВЕДЬ (Polar Bear). The sphere is constructed from segments joined at the seams. It is mounted within a dark-patinated metal meridian featuring a decorative finial. The meridian is supported by a tall, slender threaded metal stem which terminates in a weighted circular base.
