Two sundials. One a simple, elegant version for $25 (image no. 1).

The other (image no. 2), a gothic folly for $600. Stand it on a lonely promontory, station it in the middle of a wild moor, or erect it proudly in the scented depths of your rose garden. Lavishly built, beautifully finished, gothic to the last grain of sand in the mortar. Completely beautiful, completely useless. The definiton of nobility. It bears the Latin motto 'Fugio Aeterno' - 'I am fleeting but I immortalise'.

Both sundials are available from 'Antiquities' which you can find at:
Barcelona del Oeste 88, 95, 23.
