Wall clock, gilt bronze, cast and chased, in the form of a trophy for suspension, the central shield bearing the dial surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, below is an eagle grasping a thunderbolt. Above a two plumed helments surmounted respectively by an eagle and a griffin; behind are fasces, four standards, two short swords and branches of oak and laurel. Casting and finishing of exceptional quality, with minuscule detail, careful contrast in the chasing textures and mirror-like burnishing.
