Hi Ronit, I know this is a 'completed' topic for this list but if you are still interested, I have found a short mention and drawing of the dial in Mrs Gatty, 'The Book of Sundials', (p387 of the 1890 edition). If you don't have that book and if it would be of interest for you to see it, contact me off list I can send you a scan of the page in question.
