On the chapel in Soucheres Basses are two similar sundials. The afternoon dial on the south west wall has Zarbula style features: sun, equatorial line, date (1872), initials (ZGF), motto, flower pots, bird etc. South east facing morning dial has similar features. This dial is partially covered by a WWI memorial plaque. Gnomons are bent incorrectly, not square with the equatorial lines. The wall declinations a pretty close to +/-45. The restorations are less artistic than what I would expect for original Zarbula paintings.
Sundial Type: Vertical - Wall mounted dial plate
