Table clock in the shape of Atlas
As a rule, Atlas carries a celestial globe, a three-dimensional map of the stars. A timepiece can also represent the universe, showing the movement of the stars. To enhance the engraving on the dial and foot, the furrows of the lines were filled with niello, a rich black alloy of silver, copper and sulphur.
