Abstract

Part of a bronze gnomon and lead adhesive remain in the top of the dial. [...] A round mount hole in the bottom surface has worn through to the top of the base. None of eleven hour lines continue beyond the solstices. Three day curves are always equidistant from each other and the lower edge of the shadow receiving surface.
