Charles Fox: Sok Aun (2017)

About a third of the construction workers in Phnom Penh are women. “Its been three years since I arrived in Phnom Penh and I have been working in construction the whole time. My daughter is living with my parents back home in Prey Veng Province. I try to save as much money as possible so my diet is limited. I also sleep at the construction site to save money so I can send it back to my family.” (source)

The only surviving spherical astrolabe was purchased at auction in 1962 by the Oxford Museum of the History of Science. It is signed by its maker, Mūsa (the Arabic equivalent of Moses), who is otherwise unknown—but the particular style of decoration and Arabic calligraphy suggest an origin in the Syro-Egyptian region, perhaps Cairo or Damascus.
