The clock is mounted in a square turret surmounted by a cuppola. The turret is made from stone and a square panel surrounds the clock face. Sadly, at this time (2013) the face is not in the best of condition and the clock is not working.
The face is square and is painted light blue. A black circle is painted on the blue face to show the hour marks and the black circle is outlined with a gold circle. The hour marks, there are no minute marks, are painted in white onto the black circle with the paind in the area of the "X" starting to peel away.
Only one hand remains on the clock and that would appear to be the hour hand that has a sun and moon tail.
It is sad to see the clock in this condition.
