The perfect inner bowl of this sundial
contrasts with the disorganised, decaying appearance of the outer bowl and
stem. The stem’s shape was inspired by the Magnolia X Soulangiana in the
garden nearby. The bowl is part of a sphere. The gnomon sits inside this bowl
and points towards the centre of the sphere. The shadow of the gnomon’s
tip fails on the hour lines and shows solar time.
