Topped by a four-ring iron armillary sphere with a lancing arrow gnomon, this sundial is supported by a baluster form column. Hand-carved from Italian limestone, the light gray stone has developed a striking patina of green, dark gray, and brown and features some visible fossil inclusions (most noticeably to the entablature). The bulbous column, which has been embellished with several slender protruding rings and thick lobes of gadroon, sits on top of two demi-lune stones that form a circular base. Our Italian baluster form sundial would make a fantastic garden ornament in a garden, courtyard, or front yard landscape installation.
CONDITION: Very good condition with minor nicks, rubs, and losses. The armillary has some oxidation, which is a desired appearance. Stone is a natural material that can change color with exposure to the elements. Please contact us for a photo of the current patina. Not intended to be an accurate measure of time of day.
