This is an excellent circular horizontal memorial dial. Around the gnomon root the dialplate has a flaming sun within which are the cardinal letters E, S and W. The hour lines terminate on the sun. The Roman hour numerals from 4am to 8pm, aligned with the hour lines, are read from outside the dial. They use XII at noon and IV at 4pm. There are half and quarter hour ticks and a noon gap. All the engraving is deep and of good quality.
The gnomon style (which casts the time shadow) has a knife edge and the gnomon has a scalloped trailing edge.
