The clock has a small finial on top, a clock face with two hands and a small archway underneath. The clock face is framed by a rectangular border with a small arch at the top. The clock has a flat base with a decorative trim and a small shelf that projects out from the wall. The clock's body is adorned with vertical grooves on either side. A small, ornate bracket supports the clock's base.
