The lines curves, figures and inscription are the work of a master hand. Each month of the year is clearly shown with the days thus 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, 25th, 30th. Unfortunately this dial was broken a short time ago, but the pieces, with the exception of one small part, are carefully preserved.
