Description |
Français : La muse Clio, jeune fille debout, drapée et couronnée de lauriers pose son coude gauche sur le globe terrestre. Sa main gauche désigne avec un stylet l'heure. Son livre est à terre sur une colonne de temple antique brisée et une section de tronc d'arbre. Le globe, gravé des continents et de certains pays, repose sur un piédestal qui cache les rouages accessibles par deux portes avant et arrière discrètes. L'équateur est divisé en deux cercles indépendants l'un de l'autre qui tournent progressivement dans le sens horaire. Sur le cercle supérieur les minutes sont inscrites en caractères arabes sur des plaques émaillées séparées par des feuilles gravées dans des cadres ovales. Sur le cercle inférieur les heures sont inscrites en caractères romains jusqu'à XII séparées par des feuilles dans des losanges. De l'autre côté se trouve au sol un génie du temps représenté par un putto ailé ceint d'un tissu. Cet angelot à califourchon sur le tronc tient une faux. L'ensemble est en bronze doré. |
