Columns and top decoration made of alabaster.
Corinthian capitals, antique lyre and diorama frame - all polychrome - gilded with gold leaf.

The frame in the middle of the upper part (above the dial) is a miniature diorama / scene: This is a small decorative showcase where small three-dimensional decorations (flowers, leaves, bushes) are placed, often made of a piece of shell, wax, silk or paper and possibly painted. This element serves as a distraction and is a typical intimate decorative element of Biedermeier, which emphasized domestic and emotional values.
