The black polished clock consists of a prismatic base, a central part that is opened up and articulated with two pillars and two half-pillars, and an upper cubic element containing the movement and dial. The moving figures on the dial – cupids forging arrows – are activated when certain time segments are struck. This clock is of high quality production of portal clocks with stylistic features of the late Empire Clocks in the form of portals were a particularity of clock design in the Habsburg Empire in the 1810s and 1820s.
