... that the time is shown in the eyes of the Negress head clock? Source: "The clock shows the time with the hours in Roman numerals in the left eye and the minutes in Arabic numerals in the right eye. The pupils slide back to reveal the time at ten minutes to the hour, and close at two minutes past the hour. They can be reopened by pulling the right earring." ([1], Royal Collection Trust)
Overall: Nominated within five days of article creation. The first hook is very interesting to me and is sourced. Plagiarism unlikely (see Earwig). 30+ percent similarity is due to quoted material. Images also checked out. However, @No Swan So Fine: there are parts that need to be cited within the article. For instance, see: 1. Depiction of blackness section; 2. intro of the Examples section; and, 3. parts of the Private collection section. Regards, Darwin Naz
