In addition to showing the hours, the astrolabe dial of this clock (parts of which are now missing) was made to indicate the apparent motions of twenty-three stars in the northern hemisphere, the position of the sun and the moon in the zodiac, and the age and phase of the moon in its monthly cycle. The recessed ring encircling the chapter of hours gives the day of the year, saints\u2019 days, and other calendrical information for the period beginning in 1570 and ending in 1610. The dial on top is for setting the alarm. The late Mannerist ornament of the case is characteristic of Nürnberg clocks. The finial is a nineteenth-century addition.Free picture Monstrance clock integrated with the OffiDocs web apps
