The hummingbird is what gives this brass sundial its charm. Raised flowers complete the design without making the face feel crowded.

At 20.3cm across, it sits neatly on a garden plinth, wall cap or sturdy outdoor table.

The darkened Roman numerals stand out clearly against the polished brass. Its separate gnomon casts the shadow across the hour scale.

Choose a sunny, level position and turn the noon line towards true north. Check the alignment again if you move it.

Brass naturally mellows outdoors. You can enjoy the developing patina or polish it occasionally for a brighter finish.

The photographs show suggested display settings. No stone plinth, pedestal or mounting surface is included.
