Armillary Sphere Sundial on Roman ColumnA striking Armillary Sundial set upon a Roman style stone composite column. Mid 20th Century. The lightly verdigris sundial consists of bronze construction upon a scrolled shaped base. The sweeping delicate form of the Armillary holds an hour band inside the celestial equator ring.
