The position of the shadow of the hours on the solar plate, allows the approximate determination of the period of the year during which the reading is carried out; in fact, there are the dates of the two solstices: on the bottom, June 21st, the first day of the summer; on the top, December 21st, the first day of winter. In the middle of the plate there are the dates of the equinoxes: March 21st, the first day of spring, and September 23rd, the first day of autumn.

 

The picture was taken close to the summer solstice.
