The Mela is a slender pendulum wall clock, 23.5 inches tall, with an open-work rectangular frame in Macassar Ebony wood and silver. A circular spun silver dial held by silver grips carries black bar hour and minute markers and hands with a satin silver center under a glass crystal, and a silver cylindrical pendulum bob hangs on a round stick below. Quartz movement runs on one AA battery (not included).
