Seasons Brass Sundial Plate

Square brass sundial plate featuring the four seasons represented in each corner with a gnomon supported by a flower. Unlacquered with patina starting to form.

Sundials are one of the oldest tools for measuring time.  The Egyptians used a shadow stick or shadow clock as early as 1500 BC.  The vertical stick or "gnomon" marked the time of day by the length and position of the stick's shadow.  Gnomon in Greek means "the one that knows."
