![]() Vertical Disc Dial The corners of the octagonal plate are decorated with arabesques typical of Habermel, and at its bottom is a notch. This side carried the gnomon (missing) and a plumb line. On the other side of the dial is a diagram with common hours marked on the border from I to XII, I to XII, Italian and Babylonian hours numbered from 1 to 24 and a rotatable index for the conversion between them. In the centre is a wind rose, and the radial arm is engraved with the symbols of the zodiacal signs. The corners of the octagon carry the same arabesque decoration as on the other face. The dial has a suspension ring. Ilaria Meliconi |
