In the center of the rose garden at Mount Holyoke College there is an 18" diameter horizontal dial. The dial has Roman numerals marking the hours between 5 am to 7 pm. The signs of the Zodiac appear in a circle within the Roman numerals. Interestingly, Capricorn is placed before Sagittarius. The dial contains a stylized sunburst pattern. It is placed on top of an octagonal base set on a stone deeply fluted pillar which itself rests on a larger octagonal base.

The dial is inscribed:

TO LARGER SIGHT
THE RIM OF SHADOW
IS THE LINE OF LIGHT

Sundial Type: Horizontal - Flat base, Ground or Pedestal mounted dial plate
