<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Fariss, post: 9427384, member: 80619&quot;]It is definitely a clockwork mechanism of some kind.&nbsp; In American &amp; European clocks, the fact that it is pinned together and that the pinions are solid rather than lantern would be a sure sign of 19th Century (or earlier) craftsmanship, but I know little about Asian clocks.&nbsp; I do know that in traditional Japanese culture, the length of the hours varied according to the seasons.&nbsp; Could the curved lines be a reflection of that?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
