Vintage Sundial
Item No. 589
Small square sundial based on an antique cast-iron original model.
It displays the hours from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. in Roman numerals. The gnomon (shadow rod) is attached at the top center, casting a shadow onto the hour lines. The hour lines fan out from the gnomon's attachment downward.
In the Northern Hemisphere (e.g., Germany, Austria, Switzerland), the sundial must be oriented so that the baseplate faces south. The shadow rod must also be aligned appropriately for the location.
This sundial is essentially a decorative object.
Four holes in the corners of the baseplate are used for attachment.
(In the product photo, the time is 3:00 p.m. (true solar time))

Each item is painted and patinated by hand to order. You can specify whether you prefer a subtle or more pronounced patina, or whether you would like the decorative contours to stand out more clearly.
