Named after the beautiful city in Bulgaria, the Sophia 12" Diameter Blue Oceans World Globe features three dimensional raised relief molding that highlight the major mountain ranges of the world. This stunning blue ocean globe has up to date information and over 4,000 place names and areas of demarcation. The multi-coloration of the countries of the world matches the blue ocean color perfectly and helps delineate country borders. The globe ball is held in place by an antique plated, numbered die-cast semi-meridian and a two-tiered light walnut colored hardwood base. Standing 16" tall the Sophia globe is both an attractive and functional accent piece for the home and office.
