Only one face is visible.
The dial is made from a single circular stone. The gnomon hole is on the vertical axis, but displaced towards the upper edge of the stone, and obscured by a modern openwork, wrought-iron gnomon. From the hole radiate incised lines of calibration terminating on the incised line delimiting the broad plain frame. Four lines are visible to the left of the gnomon and three to the right, but all are heavily damaged.
