Description
The clock face presents an idyllic landscape scene with two persons facing the viewer: on the left is a man, seated on a stone ledge, playing a flute directed toward the clock's center; on the right, a woman sits with a book in her lap, her right hand raised toward the center point. Other decorative features include three dancing figures [presumably carved from walnut], one with a bell.Iconclass
