Description

A square wooden clock face painted white and faded to a yellow. The dial keeps four different periods of time. The largest circle of the dial is divided into twelve intervals four blocks in between downward pointing triangles and records seconds and minutes. Below each of the triangles is a Roman numeral I-XII. Inside the Roman numerals is another circle with alternating dots and integers 1-31, though there is no dot between 30 and 31. The dial has a central through-hole, another through-hole below it, and a third to the right of the bottom through-hole. There are through-holes at three of the four corners of the board. The back has two cross bars dado jointed.
