This small Anglo-Saxon sundial dating back to the 10th century CE is a fascinating example of early timekeeping. Found in 1938, the sundial includes a gnomon pin that can be inserted into holes designated for various months. When hanging from its chain, it measured three distinct times throughout the day based on the sun's position. Both compact and practical, it showcases the cleverness of medieval craftsmanship and scientific understanding.
