‹ Ancient Sundials
Dialface ID 162
Abstract
The gnomon hole is 15 mm deep. The surface of the dial is quite worn and the right side is broken away, but seven hour lines (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7) affect an irregular division of the shadow-receiving surface. Only the summer solstice is clearly visible but the positions of other day curves can be estimated from preserved traces. A half-cylinder molding separates the oblique front from the sloping base.
