Detailed Description
An impressive gilt bronze French Empire clock with the beautiful image of Alexander the Great studying.
Young Alexander holds a stone in his left hand so that if he falls asleep, the stone would fall into the shell and the sound would wake him up. This was the advice of Aristotle, his teacher.
