The clock depicts a winged putto with a bow and arrow with to the right of him a dog on a lead, the dog has a bow
around it''s neck and jumps up to the putto.
Next to the putto lays a quiver with arrows.
The gilt base what stands on large bun feet is decorated with strings of flowers.
The white enameled dial has roman numerals and blued hands, a small nips next to the winding holes.
The eight day movement is by Jappe Freres.
A signature of P.H. Mourey is found at the back of the clock with the numbers 2 and 64, this is most probably the date of manufacture, February 1864.
The eight day movement strikes on the half and full hour on a silvered bell.
The clock has been restored a few years ago to is former glory.
