Miniature Tall Clock

Caleb Leach

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Miniature Tall Clock by Caleb Leach. The clock has a dark wood body with a rectangular base featuring a short, curved protrusion on the right side. The base has a flat bottom with four small feet. A long, narrow panel with a curved top is centered on the body. The clock face is enclosed by a wood frame with a curved top and Roman numerals. Three golden finials are on top of the clock, one centered and one on either side. The clock hands are black and appear to be around 2:22. The background is white with a slight shadow beneath the clock.
