Maison Communale, Prelles

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.
