Description: | Two bronze dolphins, with a smooth surface, with their bodies curving round and away from each other, meeting at their beaks and tails. They are pointing downwards and the tips of their tail fins almost touch with a small gap in between. This forms the gnomon. When the sun shines the shadow, with the narrow gap in it, falls on a bronze curved plate scored with lines down it showing the hours in ten minute intervals. The plate is curved and rectangular and held in the dolphins' mouths. The dolphins are set on a rough cast bronze base, representing the water out of which they are leaping. The sculpture stands on an octagonal concrete plinth. There is an explanatory notice nearby detailing how to read the time from the sundial. Additional Information: Commemorates the Silver Jubilee, 25 years, of HM Queen Elizabeth II's reign. | Subjects: | Sculpture | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Designer: Daniel, Christopher St J.H.
