Separating the hours are brass rods radiating from the centre. A glass domed shape glass cover trimmed with brass closes with a brass hinge and brass locking mechanism. The frame is trimmed with gold paint detailing and a rope running upwards to the original stylized brass hanging bracket. There are solid decorative brass tacks holding the rope in place.
