Musical clock in a wooden walnut root veneered case, with inlay, carved foliage ornamentation, carved overlays on the ribs, with a carved figure of an eagle with outstretched wings on top, on a profiled base on four protruding supports. Two carved phials and a window with a door from which a cuckoo figure appears are on the frieze. On the front, behind a round glass door with a button and polished bezel, there is a ring-shaped dial with Roman numerals in blue on white enamel inserts, with two ivory hands and two holes for the clock winding and striking. Small doors with handles are on the case sides. Sliding panels on latches are on the case rear side and on the plinth. The base houses the musical mechanism, with the on/off cord on the left and winding hole with a pin on the right. The musical mechanism consists of a sound comb, a spring motor and a pin metal cylinder for six melodies. It is not connected to the clock and is activated by a cord. The clock mechanism is pendulum-driven, with a half-hour strike by a hammer on a gong, two spring motors and an automaton – a cuckoo that chimes every hour.
