The clock movement is contained in a partial globe setting on a central tower of flowers. To the left is a bow with a quiver full of arrows, and to the right of the clock stands the singed astronomer, along with this telescope, a small globe, a compass in his hand, and on a small table, a triangle, protractor, paper and ink pot with quill. The original gilding has some wear on the floral bezel and rear of the case, but we still classify it as excellent. Height 13 inches
