‹ Ancient Sundials
Dialface ID 153
Abstract
A gnomon was apparently attached to the top surface of the dial in a series of three holes. Three day curves on the conical surface are divided by eleven hour lines. The dial appears from photographs to be very well made. Stylized lion feet decorate the base. Part of a simple relief design including a curling leaf and small flower decorates the upper half of the right side.
