Identification
| ID in this catalogue | SD Dendera |
| Type | Semicircular |
| Current Location | Unknown. A search in August 2016 by curators at the Petrie Museum did not produce it. |
| Catalogue Numbers | None |
| Provenance | Dendera, via Petrie's excavations in the late 1800s. |
| Date | Unknown. Petrie groups the dial with pottery offering trays of the 9th to 12th Dynasties, but this cannot count as archaeological context. |
| Dimensions | The fragment is unlikely to be more than 200 mm wide, based on the scale given for Petrie's (1900) drawings. |
| Material | The drawing could be of stone or faience or pottery. All the other items in the same plate are pottery. |
| Markings and inscriptions | The right quadrant of the sundial, containing traces of six radial lines, the leftmost of which looks like the vertical noon line. |
| Notes | The sundial does not appear to be noted in the text by Petrie (1900) at all, even though he illustrates it. |
