The waist has molding at the top, chamfers with string inlay at the front corners, and a rectangular case door with indented top corners. The base has molding at the top, string inlay, chamfers with string inlay at the corners, and ogee bracket feet. The dial has arabic numerals, a small second hand in the center, twin hemispheres and moon phase in the lunette, painted figures in landscapes at the corners, and eight day movement. Detail of hood with dial. Ornamentation is difficult to discern due to poor image quality.
