What you seeA pale slate sky meets a field of oat at a hairline horizon. A small gold sun sits on the horizon at the far left, and a single slim charcoal post stands on the ground, its sand-coloured shadow stretched long across the field towards the lower right corner.

What it meansThe pointer of a sundial: for centuries the length of a shadow told the hours, and the times of prayer, before any clock did.

Where it worksFor a study, a hallway or a bedroom; a quiet piece that pairs with Small Dome and Evening Horizon.
