Description

Humming Bird Antiqued Sundial

This handsomely detailed Sun Dial measures just 19cm. So it is not “in your face”. Big enough to be seen. Modest enough not to offend.

Understated with a delicate sweetness about it.  As you wander through a garden it’s lovely to find treasures like this.

There will beea a gradual appearance of a patina on it’s surface  The patina adds character to the sundial blending it in with its surroundings.

The shadow indicator called a gnomon. The gnomon  is in the shape of a bird. The sun causes a shadow to fall across the numerals indicating the time of day.

“The Humming Bird”.

  • Their name refers to the humming sound made by their tiny, beating wings.
  • Each species of Humming Bird creates a different humming sound, depending on the speed of its wing beats.
  • Their wings rotate in a figure of eight rotations at tremendous speeds..
  • These rotations help them to hover while feeding on the nectar from the flowers.
