18th Century Irish Rustic Stone and Slate Sundial

18th century Irish rustic stone and slate sundial. This rustic sundial was hand-carved from stone and features its original and scribed slate dial plate with replaced bronze gnomon. Although the octagonal dial plate has suffered losses over the years, it is beautifully engraved with a central mariner's star, signed "James (illegible)" and dated "17 (illegible)". We replaced the gnomon with a hand-forged bronze one after the original was broken.

Northern Ireland, CA 1780
