Description

 

Humming Bird Polished 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.

The polished  surface of the sundial will slowly and gradually develop its own character as mother nature adds changes to its appearance.

For instance, over the coming years patina will appear on its surface  The patina adds a distinctive 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.

  • These rotations help them to hover while feeding on the nectar from the flowers.
