For anyone who loves to set sail or just appreciates great art, this clock is two steel sails brightly sanded and flared to allow a clock movement to be inserted between them. Four small holes in the clock face act as time markings. The sails stand approximately 12'' tall. The clock movement is AA battery operated (battery not included). This item looks great front and back so suitable for a desk. Clock ships in a sturdy corrugated box, suitable for reshipping.
