Dialface ID 89

Abstract

A keyhole-shaped light hole in a rectangular depression (21 mm wide x 36 mm long) is now visible in the restored top surface of the dial. The center of the restored hole is 225 mm from the left edge and 102 mm from the front. [...] Museum officials have completely restored this dial starting with a fragment on which seven hour lines (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9) and three day curves were preserved. A 10 mm margin follows the circular section (d: 342 mm) and the square outer boundary of the oblique front. Found near Pula in 1940.
