| Description: |
- A 20 inch diameter brass armillary sphere with equatorial, meridian and equinoctial colure rings. Gnomon has two nodus balls that may show solar position at solstices. Equatorial ring has 15-minute marks and Arabic hour numerals. The dial alignment needs adjustment for its current location.
This armillary dial in the garden of Bendt Fellenius is a family heirloom, a dial given to his grandfather Walmar Fellenius in 1946 in Sweden. The garden is private but the sundial is visible from the street.
