This 18th c. style marble clock is composed of two columns in a shape of a obelisks in white marble and a statue of Goddess Minerva/Athena as well as suspended dial with free swinging sunburst Medusa head pendulum. The enamel dial is protected by a glass lens with oval bronze frame, inside are Arabic numerals indicating hours and minutes. The figure of the goddess is crafted from gilded bronze and is sculped with a shield and spear in her hands, the other elements that connects to her are ormolu bronze mounts on the front of the columns which contain ancient Greek like swords, armor, helmet. Athena or Minerva for Romans, was a goddess of wisdom, war, victory and justice; in Louise XVI style the antiquity inspired most of the elements, including the symbolism behind Greco-Roman religious figures.

In the plinth of the clock are ormolu friezes with grape vines and bows, supported by toupie fee.
