Lady clock watches over the passage of time

Clocks like this, portraying a lady standing arms akimbo, were sometimes made in Ostrobothnia. This lady clock was on display for a long time in the National Museum’s permanent exhibition and became one of the main attractions. The clock is from the village of Alakylä in Alaveteli.
