AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
an iron cast armillary-sphere sundial, which is frequently used as nostalgic decoration for the garden or on the terrace
Inscription: On the lower ring of this specific model is the traditional, English-language motto "Count Only Sunny Hours" (I count only the sunny hours). This is a free translation of the well-known Latin sundial motto "Horas non numero nisi serenas".
Design: The sundial is designed in the shape of an armillary sphere (a celestial globe made of metal rings) with a needle as the shadow caster (gnomon). The outer ring is equipped with Roman numerals to read the hours.
Material: It is completely made from sturdy, brown patinated cast iron and has a square base with pre-drilled holes, so it can be securely mounted on a stone, pedestal, or the ground
