The dial is set on two stone corbels on the south façade, and uses gold leaf décor on a slate ground. It shows 9am to 7pm in hours, using XII and IV. The motto across the foot reads: ’Tempus Pertinax’ (Time persists). A ball nodus on the end of the gnomon rod indicates the equinoxes and part of the summer solstice. There is a flaming sun at the root. The hour lines are drawn ’under’ the semicircular chapter ring and run to the edge of the dialplate.
