Bob and all,
 
As I told before when I sent the link with the sunny picture, we can see that the hour lines (cables) are not at the right place : they point to the base of the perpendicular gnomon.
It's the "sundial of an artist"
 
For those who understand French, I can show another example of "sundial of an artist",
it's an analemmatic dial but with only one point to be all year long, so it works only 2 days a year !

Nicola and all,
 
Nicola, I did not notice the hourlines until you pointed them out. Thank you, this dial is beginning to make more sense.
 
I have put another page online with an edited version of Nicola's graphic with a statement and link about the dial's concept.
 
 
Bob
