- Approximately 14-inch bronze sun dial consisting of an standard equatorial hour ring. However the gnomon is a thin semi-circular disk. The top straight edge is the style casting its shadow onto the equatorial ring. All of this sites on top a low bronze metal dome base. The whole structure may be bent as the top edge of the semi-circular disk is nearly horizontal and not tilted at the nearly 30 degrees required by the latitude of New Orleans.
