Augsburg Equinoctial Sundial
Augsburg-made sundials enjoyed great popularity during the 18th century. The lower part of the original instrument contained the compass and is beautifully decorated with floral fretwork.

The octagonal-shaped hour scale, with alternating convex and concave sides, has the hours in Roman numerals engraved on the upper side from III in the morning to IX at night, and in Arab numerals on the interior border from 3 in the morning to 9 at night. The gnomon rests on the axis of the diametric turntable at the six-hour line. The latitude limb is the circular sector where the scale is engraved.
