(Edition - unique)

I have made this sundial for Foros - a small town located at the Black Sea shore.

To improve the hieroglyphic Chinese written language is an extremely difficult task. But my customer has set me this task, having demanded to decorate this sundial with hieroglyphs designating his name, and names of his mother and two daughters. I told him that I do not speak Chinese and even haven't even met any Chinese people so far. My objections were not taken into consideration. Perhaps, in my spirit, I am dissatisfied with incomprehensibility of the Chinese hieroglyphs. Otherwise I would not undertake this work. Here is the result. The customer was delightedi!. I wonder, what other townsmen of Foros think about this?
