The rete is of the indicator-line (simple) type. This
rete shows much influence from the Moorish-arch design. Most
of the star pointers spring from bases that resemble
trefoils. There are four rotational knobs. The knobs were
added after the rete was engraved. Finally, the star pointer
for الحاوا (?) has been repaired and the name obscured..The
star pointer for الدبران is a subtle profile of a bird.The
zodiac on the rete is labelled: الحمل , الثور , الجوزا ,
السرطان , الاسد , السنبله , الميزان , العقرب , القوس , الجدي
, الدلو , الحوت
