12th Century Sandstone Zodiac Sundial
Located in Vosselaar, BE
A impressive and intriguing Spanish Zodiac dating back to the Romanesque period. This architectural fragment would originally have been part of the facade of a aristocratic house or the inner walls of a cloister. Knowledge of the Zodiac was the privilege of the upper classes and only kept alive trough the efforts of monks who safeguarded (and hid at the same time) books and manuscripts since antiquity. This example is very rare, not only because of its age and size but also because it combines a Zodiac with a sundial. It is executed with great care and eye for proportion. The sculpture was originally made out of two vertical slabs tightly positioned next each other. We fixed both stones together and finished with a natural mortar in between as they did in the 12th century...
