Description

Form an incomplete circle with index and thumb of right hand, space of about an inch between tips; hold hand towards the east; then move it in a curve across the heavens towards the west.

Notes

This sign is frequently used to denote the time of day, which is determined by the position of the sun in the heavens.

Tomkins notes right hand held towards left indicates eastward.

Clark notes that the right hand fixed as above, and pushed up towards any one position of the sun, is all that is usually done
