Installed as part of the art project "Hidden Past" following the redevelopment of Dokkum's city center. The cast-iron shell-like shape features the contours of the old city walls. The city's coat of arms, with moon and stars, is depicted in the stainless steel countershape. Sunlight shines through the shell's cutout, forming a kind of sundial inside the cast-iron shape.

Very nice old Frisian town. Belongs to the "Elf steden".
