The dial is a cast plate with raised furniture. It shows hours with Roman numerals for 6am to 6pm, read from the inside, using ’O’ for noon and IIII for 4pm. It is incorrectly delineated (6am and 6pm are not on a line through the toe of the gnomon) . The motto at the south reads ’Grow old / along with / me, the best is yet to be’, intersected by a standing Father Time. The gnomon is supported by the figure of a bird.
