Motto : BE AS TRUE TO EACH OTHER AS THIS DIAL TO THE SUN
More details : see here
Remark :
This smelting sundial - which origin is not clearly known - was computed for the southern hemisphere. The hours are counted backward; so is the information on the wind rose.
In the concentric circles, it is written about a corrector factor ranging from 'ADD 10 Minutes' until 'SUBSTRACT 20 Minutes' depending on the date. This correction allows to convert solar time to official time.
