Hi Jim, I own an Aquitaine Dial by Morrison Associates, the Bacchus version decorated with grapes and vines. It was a gift from someone who knew of my passions well. I am impressed with the artistry and construction. Morrison's associates are well known in this community of dialists as recognized experts in the history and design of sundials. I have seen other Morrison dials in shops and can recommend that they provide value for the price. The historical lore included in the package and displayed on the web page adds to the appeal of the Aquitaine dial. It is not as accurate or universal as the Explorer version (a folding equatorial) but it is sufficient precise for arranging trysts. Roger Bailey Walking Shadow Designs N 51 W 115
