Dialface ID 371
Abstract
The sundial was cut out of a marble slab. The silhouette, resembling the body of a female is shown on Fig. 4. The sundial is mounted and fixed onto a high place. Not much effort was employed on processing the marble. Greater emphasis was laid, however, on inscribing the lines and curves onto the shadow receiving surface. The eleven hour-lines originate from the base of the presently missing gnomon and extend towards the frontal edge. The midday line (for the 6tb hour) had previously been marked on the frontal plane - a mark also common for a number of other specimens.
