Solid Brass Kiss Of The Sun Sundial 10" Dia. (#2307)
This sundial 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 finish features a beautiful hand-rubbed aged patina. Each brass dial is individually hand buffed and polished, resulting in natural variations in the antiquing and finish from one sundial to another.
Please note that brass tones and patina will naturally vary in appearance depending on lighting conditions and environment. Studio photography may show deeper or richer tones, while natural outdoor sunlight can reveal brighter highlights, softer contrast, and additional character in the finish.
This brass dial will requires no care to further develop a rich natural verdigris patina finish over the years. Brass does not rust and is a perfect material for heirloom quality garden art.This sundial fits all of Rome’s sundial pedestal bases which are sold separately. Other popular ways to display a sundial in the garden is on a tree stump, large stone or boulder, or a concrete or ceramic base.
