A fine example of an early 20th century English bronze sundial engraved to top “I am also under authority”. To the bottom a set of Equation of Time monthly tables. The Equation of Time is the difference between the time determined by a sundial and the clock time - in essence the time you should allow in minutes to allow for the orbit of the earth around the sun.
