On this stone pedestal, you can see how the position of the sun determines the time, via the shadow that moves across the dial. With the additional explanations, you can learn how to convert solar time to our clock time — a beautiful example of ancient knowledge that still works today.
The combination of simplicity and ingenuity makes this sundial a fascinating object to pause at. As the shadow slowly shifts, you get a tangible sense of the rhythm of the day.
