Calendar Table of Copper Plated Four Elephant Piggy Runner, England, 18th century, height 72 cm, bottom 49 cm square
The clock has three layers. Four elephants hold the oval music box on the base. The front and back sides of the music box are set boxes. There are people playing various musical instruments in front of the scene. The center of the platform on the second floor is a circular building. The guard of honor on the second floor walks around the circular building, and the four corners are turned flowers. The tail fish is used as a kiss on the bracket to hold up the clock dial. In addition to the central second hand, the big clock dial is also equipped with four small dials. The upper one is the time dial, the left one is the solar calendar day dial, the right one is the minute dial, and the lower one is the second dial. The upper one is marked with 1, 2, 3, and 4 numbers. The small needle keeps rotating rapidly, making the clock seem energetic. The top chord of the watch is at the back of the watch, and the two buttons on the right side of the music box are switches for changing sets and actions of music.
