The 16th century clock was made in Poland by an unknown author. At the top of the clock is a figure of a farmer with a stick indicating the hour. The cow's eyes move from side to side, and when the clock strikes, the milkmaid milks the cow. The uterus of the mechanical animal then releases fluid retained in the herd, which flows rapidly down the woman's hands. The device was made in the Augsburg style. The specimen is a rare specimen - several examples of 16th-century automatic clocks with figures are known, but this is the only known specimen with an idyllic motif and a very rare example of a fluid-pumping clock.
