Figurenuhr mit türkischer Barke, Automat, Türkenautomat

um 1580/1590

The dial of this gilded copper clock is on the right side of the pedestral beneath the pasha. A bell indicates the full hours and the quarters of hours. At the same time a mechanism moves the figures: the guenon bites into the apple, the rower rows and turns his head and the pasha rolls his eyes.
