Set on a stone column or fasted to a wall, the basic sundial is formed from a triangular metal piece (Gnomon), set at right-angles to a base plate (Dial Plate). Sundials are usually made from brass or bronze, both metals resistant to corrosion and weathering. The Sun shinning across the Gnomon casts a shadow over the Dial Plate, showing the time of the day.
