The dial is mounted on a cylindrical stone pedestal. It shows 4am to 8pm in 30, 15, 5 and 2 minute marks, with a split noon, using XII and IIII, the numerals being read from outside the chapter ring. Half hours are marked by lozenge décor in the mid-line, and hour lines pass through the numerals. There is an EoT scale of the Watch Faster/Slower type. An inscription reads ’Thos Harris & Son / British Museum London’.
