Abstract

A trace of lead fill remains in the gnomon hole. No engraved lines are preserved on the shadow-receiving surface. An 18 mm lip follows the lower edge of this conical surface. Stylized legs flank the base. A relief strip 30 mm wide crosses the left and right sides diagonally, meeting the back at an angle of 43.2.
