Does anyone know if this indeed is a sundial, or just a time sculpture?  The 
dial has only 12 hours around its circumference.  Most dials have 24 hours 
around the perimeter, and although it is possible to design one with just 12 
hours, they are rarely made this way.  In such a dial, the gnomon originates 
at the perimeter coincident with the 6:00 mark.
