Muhammad Saleh Thattvi
Muhammad Saleh Thattvi (also spelled Muhammad Salih Tatah-wi and Muhammad Salih Tatawi) was a 17th-century Mughal craftsman known for making seamless celestial globes and astrolabes.
Celestial globe[edit]
In 1659, Tatah-wi made a 21 cm diameter celestial globe. As no seams are visible in a photograph of it, it was likely made by the cire perdue method.[1]
