This is an
analemmatic sundial located at "The Land of
Israel Museum" in Tel-Aviv. This type of
sundial does not have hour lines but hour points
located along an ellipse. The larger tiles
running up the center of the dial would be marked
with a scale of dates. The gnomon is normally a
vertical rod but for this dial it is a person
standing on the scale at a point corresponding to
the date they visit the dial. Their shadow would
give the time. |

made from sixteen individual ceramic tiles. It
must have taken great skill to paint all the hour
lines and border with the accuracy necessaty to
ensure that everything was in alignment when the
dial was put together. |
