Een Mantel klok met zeldzame afbeelding Directoire - Ormolo - circa 1795
A French Directoire clock (late 18th century) with a very rare representation of “Amalthaea” (in Greek mythology, the foster mother of Zeus, king of the gods). Sometimes she is depicted as the goat that suckled the young god in a cave in Crete, sometimes as in this representation as a nymph who gave him the milk of a goat.
