| Description: |
- This is an elegant commercially made bronze horizontal dial about 18-inch (.46 cm) in diameter. The Chapter Ring has hours from 5am to 7pm, divided in quarter hours. Hours are marked in Roman Numerals from VI to VI. A bird sits profile in the gnomon, filling the space beneath the style. The gnomon foot is accurately placed to a line between VI-VI, but the gnomon angle was not measured. The dial rests on a polished brown granite pillar. At the base of the pillar is a small bronze plaque.
