Forwarded from Tartaria & History Channel (Dan Undacva)
Part 2
The four figures flanking the clock are set in motion on the hour, and represent four things that were despised at the time of the clock's making. From left to right in the photographs, the first is Vanity, represented by a figure admiring himself in a mirror. Next, the miser holding a bag of gold represents greed or usury. Across the clock stands Death, a skeleton that strikes the time upon the hour. Finally, there is a Turkish figure representing lust and earthly pleasures. On the hour, the skeleton rings the bell and immediately all other figures shake their heads side to side, signifying their unreadiness "to go".
Every hour of the day, twelve statues of Apostles with its attributes appear at the doorways above the clock. The left and right windows above the astronomical clock slide aside to reveal the Apostles
I also see the centre point. The centre point to stand on at the foot of the clock.
