There are 4 plates
with latitudes ranging from 41°0' to 52°0' .
Latitude 41°0'
There are a number of construction lines/arcs on this
tympan.
In particular, the
azimuth
for 0° continues to the edge of the tympan; a number of the
other
azimuths
extend slightly below the horizon. There is a faint row of
construction dots beteween the equator and the tropic of
cancer..

shows a bit of tarnishing, perhaps indicating that it was

line of dots between equator and tropic of
capricorn.
Once again, the 0°
azimuth
extends below the horizon down to the lower edge of the
tympan.
