Summary/Abstract: The globe made by Johannes Deur (1667–1734) from Amsterdam, currently in the collection of the JU Museum, is a unique object. Only three works of this kind remain in the world. The object was created at the turn of the eighteenth century in Amsterdam. It is an example of a pocket globe, classified as a miniature globe. The analysis focuses on the object’s condition, its design, and the map of the Earth and the sky. The results made it possible to date it to 1699–1707.
