a male in court dress, holding a staff which is hollow, and carries a drive shaft up through the staff and thus rotates the glass globe which has numbers 1-12 pressed into the glass. A candle may be placed inside the globe to reveal the time all night long. The movement is contained within the base and is wound from the side, and has a platform/cylinder escapement that is in good working order. The statue retains its original bottom dust cover (which is often missing). Height 18 inches
