Italian Baluster Form Sundial in Carved Limestone
About the Item
Hand-carved with a baluster form column, this Italian sundial is topped by a four-ring iron armillary sphere with a lancing arrow gnomon. The robust column has multiple incuts and protruding rings, giving it an undulating appearance. It is topped by a well-carved entablature with several layers of step molding that support the oxidized armillary. The light gray limestone has begun to develop a darkened patina in some areas, adding to the visual appeal. A three-inch thick square plinth offers a stable base for this wonderful garden ornament. Our baluster form sundial would make a great addition to a rose garden, interior courtyard, or front yard.

- Carved Italian Marble Sundial with Iron GnomonLocated in Dallas, TXHand-carved in Italy, this beautiful marble sundial has a turned iron gnomon that mirrors a thin twisted rope molding along the outer edges. Beneath the gnomon attachment are colored inserts that form a blue, red, yellow, and green compass rose, providing a colorful contrast to the cream marble with subtle tan and gray veining. As the earth rotates on its axis, the gnomon casts a shadow onto the marble which is incised with Roman Numerals on a stylized scroll. Directly under the tip of the angled gnomon is “XII”, indicating noon. The numbers to the left of XII run counterclockwise, starting with “VI”. On the opposite side, the numerals continue in a counterclockwise manner, terminating in a second “VI” (which would be PM if the sundial...Category

- Carved Limestone Horsehead from ItalyLocated in Dallas, TXHand-carved by an Italian stone mason, this quaint limestone horsehead has excellent proportions. The contour of the cheek, the thick mane, and the slightly open mouth give the head a sense of realism. Carved with amazing precision, the horse can stand upright (face up) without the aid of a stand. Of course, it can also be hung on a wall in the proper orientation. Decorative horse heads of this size were often seen hanging on the exterior wall of a horse barn.Category
