Below this is a Reynold's angel. There are also Mythical creatures and elaborate flowing foliage. The clock stands on a base which is also finely pierced with scrolling foliage and acanthus leaf feet and the clock is surmounted by an urn with mythical creatures.

The dial is also brass and is mounted with 12 individual enamel cartouches. the rear door is glazed to allow the movement to be seen.
