Clock

Auguste-Emile Rinquet-Leprince

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photo of an ornate clock. The clock is in the shape of an urn. The urn body is black with a white clock face framed in ornate metalwork in the center. The urn sits on a fluted metal base. Two curled metal pieces rise on either side of the urn's body at the top, framing the base of more ornate metalwork ending in a point and decorated with leaves. There are additional leaf decorations on the sides of the urn. A small metal key sits on the surface in front of the base. The background is plain with a shadow cast to the left.
