One of the most ancient sundials of my region is from 1744. It is a horizontal garden dial situated in a convent garden.
The pole style is made of copper, the base is a piece of slate. A peculiarity of this sundial: the a m hour numbers have been written in reverse (or in mirror image) ( 6 7 8 9 10 11 are written as IV IIV IIIV XI X IX) Does somebody know what can be the cause of this anomaly? You can see a picture of this sundial on http://www.biol.rug.nl/maes/zonnewijzers/welcome-e.htm -> horizontal -> Convent garden Maaseik -> click the thumbnail picture Willy Leenders Hasselt, Flanders in Belgium -
