Object Detail
Brief Description
Cricket themed metal clock. Clock is painted green to represent a cricket field. Twelve small wooden domes painted to look like cricket balls are placed around the circumference of the clock to indicate hours, with small metal stumps used to indicate the exact point of the hour on the balls. Minute and hour hands are metal and are in the shape of two cricket bats, with the minute 'bat' smaller than the hour 'bat'. Clock machinery is encased in a metal box attached to the reverse of the clock. A power cable runs from this box. The number '12' is handwritten on the back of the clock, to indicate which way up the clock should be placed.
