The sculptural framework is arranged around a Roman numeral band and slender arrow-form gnomon, giving the piece the architectural character associated with traditional English and French gardens.

Its compact scale makes it especially versatile: display it atop a stone pedestal in a boxwood garden, on a garden wall or terrace table, or bring it indoors to a conservatory, library, or sunroom. The contrast between the aged blue-green surface and exposed brass gives it a particularly good collected quality.
