The very simple dial has full length hour lines from 5am to 7pm but no finer divisions. The small Roman numerals, read from the opposite side of the dial are aligned with the centre, not the gnomon foot / hour lines. There is an Equation of Time table giving the difference between GMT and sun time on the first of each month.
Around the dial is a motto: "Within this scented garden close, whoso desires may win repose / An earthly Paradise it seems - of cypresses, green lawns and streams / And if your host you wish to please, converse of nothing else but these. / Translated from the Persian original by your host John Charles Edward Bowen".
The gnomon, elaborately pierced in a plant-like form, has evidently been distorted at some time. A more recent photograph seems repaired.
The pedestal is a 910mm high tapering octagonal shaft with a square capital (repaired) and plinth.
