This vintage garden sundial is cast in iron and features a nautical motif often referred to as a Mariner's Sundial. The circular form consists of a wide outer rim and a recessed center bowl. A stylized sailboat is mounted as the gnomon to the center of the dial. The outer rim is cast with Roman numerals from VII through XII to VIII. In the lower right quadrant, the Latin inscription LUMEN ME REGIT is cast in relief, which translates to The light guides me. The piece reflects mid-20th century outdoor decor styling and heavy cast construction. Dimensions: Approximately 10 to 12 inches in diameter.
