The Ostrich Egg Globe is a hollow terrestrial globe made from the conjoined lower halves of two ostrich eggs.[1] The map carved on the globe is an extremely close,[1] if not identical,[2] match to the Hunt–Lenox Globe, a copper globe reliably dated to about 1510. The owner[2] of the Ostrich Egg Globe, Stefaan Missinne, claims that it was made in the early 16th century and is therefore the first globe ever to depict the New World.[1][3]
