The top of the hood has a continuous arched pediment surmounted by a fretted cornice and three brass, ball-and-spike finials on fluted square columns. The front of the hood has a framed glass dial door that conforms to the rounded arch shape of the pediment. Two freestanding columns with brass stop-fluting and brass capitals flank the dial door. Thick, bevel molding surrounds the front and sides of the top and base of the hood. The lunette above the painted metal dial features a pastoral scene of two people and a hound against a backdrop of sky, buildings, and trees. Roman and Arabic numerals denote time via the clock face dial. In addition to the hour and minute hands, there is a small time-circle with Arabic numerals to track seconds. An arched display window, which is flanked by winding holes, tracks calendar days. Below the calendar aperture, [WARRANTED BY / E. TABER] is inscribed on the dial face. Four corner spandrels outside the time circle are decorated with painted floral designs within gilt borders.  Cove molding surmounts the front and sides at the top of the trunk, just below the hood. Flanked by fluted quarter columns at the front edges, the trunk is molded, veneered, and framed in string inlay with fan-shaped marquetry at each corner. The trunk door is attached with two hinges and on the left side has a foliate-shaped escutcheon. On each side, below the column bases, are applied urn and floral inlays.  Thick cavetto molding atop a thin layer of ovolo molding cap the trunk base. The front surface of the base section is decorated with veneer and outlined in lightwood string inlay with four fan-shaped marquetry at each corner. Stepped base molding lines the front and sides above the bracket feet."},{"label":"Date Digitized","value":"7/20/2018"},{"label":"Marks, Signatures, and Inscriptions","value":"Inscribed on dial: [WARRANTED BY / E.
