A cast bronze horizontal dial shows the hours 4am - 8pm divided into halves and quarters, in Arabic numerals. In the centre is a sun face surrounded by an 8-point compass rose. The gnomon tip is bent backwards. The dial carries the motto ’I only count your sunny hours.’ It is mounted on a wooden base painted green.
