A Japanese Ebonized Cased Lantern Clock with Gourd-Form Weight MEIJI PERIOD (1868-1912) 日本明治時期 瑞獅轉睛葫蘆擺車棚式挂鈡 the case carved of domed form, supported above four rounded gilt lacquered feet. The dial enameled with Roman hours, set within a painted ground, the top section detailed with an immortal figure beside a leashed lion, the eye moving with automaton function, and having a large gourd-form weight. 日本開埠后民族工業迅速發展，西風東漸，鐘錶行業也受到影響，這件挂鐘就體現了這種碰撞。經典的車棚式木樓下，輪擺設計成吉祥的葫蘆形，白琺琅錶盤上嵌入一顆靈活的獅子頭，上弦后，一雙烏目滴溜溜亂轉，非常趣致。 Height 14 x width 10 x depth 8 in., 35.6 x 25.4 x 20.3 cm.
