[Copper gilded goat tower type flower inlay watch]

Copper gilded goat tower type flower inlay watch, with a height of 103 cm and a base side length of 40 cm
The clock consists of a base, a music box and a timer. The base is in the shape of a copper-plated mountain stone, with brown snakes and lizards crawling on the ground. There is a brown male lion in the open place of the rock, and a mirror is set at the hole on both sides of the lion’s body. The mirror shows that there are three male lions in the rock, and there are soldiers with guns in front of the four corners of the base. On the base, four goats carry the music box. The music box is supported by four rolls of grass-shaped curved legs. Between each two legs are decorated with copper gilded sheep’s head and a wreath made of stone. The four curved legs are equipped with vase flowers made of various colors of stone. In the center of the front of the music box is a disk with white stone as the ring mouth. There are flowers composed of red and white stone in the disk. The treasure star in the center and the eight small flowers on the edge can rotate. Around the music box stood four palm trees full of fruit, each with a green snake coiled around it. The top part is the timing part. The two-needle watch is made of red and white stones. A pavilion decorated with flowers is erected on the watch. At the top of the pavilion is a clown with a treasure star on his head. The treasure star is decorated with red and white stone flowers
This clock makes full use of the linkage of mechanical gears. When the music device is started, all the rotating flowers turn with it, making people dizzy. It is a common method for British clocks and watches in the 18th century to support the clock body by making the foot into an animal shape. The commonly used animal images include sheep, elephant, lion, rhinoceros, etc.
