Astronomical Clock

Astronomical Clock detail. The outer ring gives the time in traditional Bohemian notation (beginning at sunset). The second ring of Roman Numerals gives the time in traditional notation. The inner ring shows the position of the sun and moon in the twelve sign of the Zodiac. Note figures of Vanity and Greed to the left and Death and the Turk to the right. These figures move on the hour and the golden cock crows.
