It has all the classic Greek decorations; frieze top & bottom with scantily clad warriors in battle, and left and right corners occupied by bronze sentries, with leather armor and plumed hats standing guard. The fancy dial has a cast round overlay, with original gilding , and is very striking (pardon the pun), and the well made movement is in running order. 8-day dime and strike. Minor edge chips to marble, commensurate with age, but overall very good. Height 19 inches
