Pair of small gold-finish metal bookends, each with a rectangular plinth base supporting a jovial astronomer kneeling on a stack of books to study a large celestial globe, with other books piled beside the globe. The astronomer is portrayed as a balding professorial man. The celestial globe has raised figures of stars.
