Lyre Clock

John Sawin

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The clock has a white face with black Roman numerals. The clock face is surrounded by a metal bezel. Two metal pieces extend from the clock face to form the top of the lyre shape. The lyre shape is ornamental metalwork with a floral design. There are four strings in the middle of the lyre. The lyre sits on a flat rectangular base. An eagle sculpture sits atop the clock. The clock is against a white wall.
