Wall Clock

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Wall Clock by artist Ana Mendieta is a tall, narrow, rectangular object with a dark brown wooden frame. The top portion features a small, circular clock face with Roman numerals and ornate metalwork around it, including what appears to be a filigree design. A small metal piece protrudes from the top. Below the clock face is a small, gold-colored plaque with engraved text. The main body of the clock is a long, thin, gold-colored plate with a grid pattern and lines etched into it. The plate has a small drawer at the bottom with a small gold handle. The clock is set against a plain white background.
