‹ Ancient Sundials
Dialface ID 141
Abstract
The information on the decoration of this sundial is based on a sketch. According to this source, the limbus was set off by a lip. Two feet flanked the base; their upper part looked like a smiling face, the lower part like a knobbly, tripartite bone. In their middle, there was a large acanthus leaf. Gibbs: A gnomon groove is visible above the meridian line. […] Found in the ruins of a Byzantine basilica on Chios.
