Abstract

The sundial has a very distinct decoration. On every plane, the ‘outlines’ of the different parts are emphasized by relief margins, e.g. the legs, limbus, transition between the planes, etc. On the sides, this margin divides the plane into two panels. In the bigger upper panel, there is a disc, in the smaller lower panel, a piece of body armour is visible in frontal view, positioned like a tropaion. Gibbs: Parts of five hour lines (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) are visible in a photograph taken by the Ephor of Myconos; parts of three day curves can also be seen. The base is simple and unornamented.
