Above the dial is a scene with a windmill, buildings plus moon phase. In a rosewood and veneered case. These clocks are sometimes referred to as Dutch Hoods. They were also made in surrounding countries and can date anywhere up to the 1870's. Not tested. (The applied decoration over the lower window is missing. The dial has darkened.)
