This brass sundial, crafted by Dutch artist David Coster between 1719 and 1733, is a beautiful example of decorative art. It features a square base with an intricately engraved dial, adorned with Roman numerals and an ornate, pierced gnomon. The gnomon casts a shadow that indicates the time, making this sundial both functional and aesthetically pleasing. "Zonnewijzer van Wassenaar" is a testament to Coster's skill in combining craftsmanship with scientific precision, showcasing the artistry of 18th-century Dutch metalwork.
