Temple sundial
(Edition - unique)
In 17-19th centuries, during the epoch of advanced gnomonic, in Christian countries thousands of wall sundials have been installed on church and temple walls. In Russia, merely five orthodox temples are known to have sundials. All of them were made in the end of 18th through the beginning of 19th centuries. I was lucky to have created a classic church sundial for the St. Seraphim Sarovsky church. This sundial is cut out of limestone. Its form (semicircle) corresponds to the local orthodox tradition. In 2008 I have got a blessing to make it and on June, 22, 2009 I have installed it.
