A highly ornate 18th century clock has been unveiled at York Art Gallery.
The remarkable object features dancing figures, spinning stars, music, and waterfall effects – all housed in a velvet and gold case. A figure of Hercules strikes a bell at the top of the timepiece to mark the quarter-hours.
Visitors to the museum will be able to see the clock in action on Wednesday and Saturdays.
