The Eye of Zallow was a massive dodecahedron similar in style to a holocron suspended over a repulsorlift pad in the Jedi Temple on the planet Tython. It was orbited by two smaller holocron-shaped objects.[1]
The Eye was constructed sometime during the Temple's construction between 3650–3647 BBY[2] and was named after the fallen Jedi Master Ven Zallow, who had died in the Sacking of Coruscant in 3653 BBY that ended the Great Galactic War between the Galactic Republic and the reconstituted Sith Empire.[1] When the Sith Empire attacked Tython[4] around 3637 BBY,[3] the Jedi Temple came under assault, and during the chaos, the Eye of Zallow's repulsorlift was damaged, sending the Eye crashing to the floor.[4]

Combining these sources, the Temple's construction begins at its earliest in 3650 BBY and ends around 3647 BBY.
