Universal equinoctial dial for latitudes 5°-87° North. On the obverse side of the silver base-plate is a table of latitudes for towns in France. The reverse side is plain apart from the maker's signature, 'Nourry ALyon'. Hinged to the North side of the base-plate is the hour-circle segment, also made of silver and numbered clockwise III-XII, I-IX. The hinge is decorated and there is a gilt-brass strut across the East-West diameter supporting the gilt-brass rod gnomon. An arrow on the outer rim indicates the latitude against the latitude arc, which is hinged to the West side of the base-plate.

A gilt-brass compass is set on top of the base-plate. It is silvered inside, an 'M' (Meridies) marks South, and an engraved arrow marks the magnetic variation at 10° West of North. The needle is in the form of an arrow and is surmounted by a brass pyramidal pivot. A glass plate covers all. The dial has a black oval fishskin case with pink silk lining and a brass push-button clasp. This dial is similar in style to AST0500 and to AST0371.
