This cuckoo clock depicts a beautiful half-timbered chalet, with tan and brown accents, and windows decorated with red shutters and floral boxes. The cuckoo bird emerges from their door, above an intricately carved balcony flanked with shutters. Along the base, a tranquil Black Forest scene is depicted. On one side of the clock, a woman stands, dressed in traditional Black Forest costume and wearing a Bollenhut (the formal headdress worn by women of the Black Forest). Across from her, is a quaint arched wooden bridge over a miniature brook. On the other side, a peddler carries multiple clocks upon his back, walking forth to sell them in the village. In time to the cuckoo calls, the gentleman moves his umbrella up and down. The pleasant setting is further enhanced by details of grass and fir trees around the base.
