Horizontal sundial set on a cylindrical pedestal having spiral fluting. The sundial indicates the time from 5am to 7pm in 30, 15 and 5 minute markings, the hours being shown with Roman numerals. The sturdy gnomon has two semicircular side supports and a curved back edge. Around the gnomon there is an 8-point compass rose. A motto reads: "With warning hand I mark time’s rapid flight from life’s glad morning to its solemn night, yet through the dear God’s love I also show there’s light above me by the shade below."
