A striking mid-century scaphe form copper garden sundial, mounted on an angular Scottish granite base. This unusual sundial will make a stunning modern art piece at the centre of any garden with its clean lines and abstract form.<\/p>\n

Beautifully oxidised and weathered, the sundial is engraved with the date ‘25th November 1953’. This distinctive bowl-shape is known as a scaphe, the design of which is thought to date back to 3rd century BC ancient Greece and is accredited to astronomer and mathematician, Aristarchus of Samos. It sees a hemispherical bowl with a vertical gnomon at the centre. Within the bowl are twelve inscribed gradations used to indicate the time of day.<\/p>\n

While ancient depictions of the scaphe sundial were carved from stone, modern versions see the original design translated into metal, serving as both contemporary art and ornamental time-keeping pieces for gardens, patios and courtyards.<\/p>\n

Diameter of bowl: 50.5 cm (19.88 in)<\/p>\n

Base: 35 x 35 cm, 100.5 cm tall (13.77 x 13.77 in, 39.56 in tall)<\/p>\n

Weight of bowl: 10 kg<\/p>\n

Weight of base: 250 kg<\/span><\/p>\n
