Abstract

The half bowl shape of the dial face rises from an elongated plinth with a concave curve. Gibbs: Traces of a deep gnomon hole and groove remain in top surface. In this variation on the Rhodes-Kos design, the plinth base stretches necklike to rounded sides. […] Remains of a mount hole are preserved in the bottom surface.
