Extract

A sun-dial, built by young Dutch artists and craftsmen and offered to the Red Cross by the Netherlands Committee for National and International Competitions of Professional Craftsmen, was inaugurated on August 6, 1965, in the grounds of the headquarters of the International Committee of the Red Cross. It is of brick and cement and measures about 5 feet high. On the dial itself, in the form of a concave hemisphere, are engraved not only the hours in Roman figures but also signs of the zodiac and the Red Cross, Red Crescent and Red Lion and Sun emblems.
