Solid Brass Kiss Of The Sun Sundial 10" Dia. (#2307)

This dial is inscribed with Dorothy Frances Gurney’s cherished poem, “The kiss of the sun for pardon, the song of the birds for mirth, One is nearer God’s heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth.” A fitting sundial for the gardener in your life. This 10” diameter sundial is made by Rome Industries using the ancient art of sand casting. To cast the dial, an impression of the sundial pattern is made into high quality sand designed specifically for brass casting. Molten brass is then poured into a hole in the sand that fills the mold. After cooling, the sand surrounding the sundial is removed and the finishing process begins. The sundial is given a two-tone antique finish that has a nice contrast between the verdigris of the flat and recessed parts of the dial with the polished letters and raised features. The finish is hand buffed & polished which will make for slight variances in the antiquing and polishing from one sundial to another and are normal attributes of our artisan
