Title

Maison Communale, Prelles

Description

This dial is on the communal house in Prelles The dial was created in 1845.

The dial faces to the east and has hour and half-hour liens from 5 to 1 o’clock. The dial also has a line of equinoxes.

The dial has no motto

The dial reminds me of the designs by Zarbula. It is created in trompe l’oeil fashion (lighting from the bottom-left). It has two flower pots on top and in the middle an eagle. There is a curtain above the stylus with five knots (reference ro christ), a moon and masonic signs.

The dial has been restored in 1984 by le Club du Vieux Manoir.
