Mixed Media Natural Slate and Copper Wall Clock

This is a contemporary square wall clock featuring a multi-layered, mixed-media design that emphasizes natural textures and metalwork. The innermost face is constructed from a circular piece of rough-hewn slate, set within a larger square slate border. The slate displays a varied palette of earthy browns, tans, and greys with a natural cloven texture typical of metamorphic rock. Positioned at the 12, 3, 6, and 9 o'clock marks are raised, copper-toned numerals with a slight patina. The clock is set against an outer copper or copper-finished metal plate that exhibits vibrant iridescent heat-treated or chemical patinas in shades of fiery orange, yellow, and deep bronze. The entire assembly appears to be mounted on a dark brown textured wooden or composite backing. The clock hands are minimalist, featuring black tapered hour and minute hands with a gold-tone center cap and a slender gold-tone seconds hand. The condition appears fair to good with visible shelf wear; the lower brown backing shows slight scuffing and white dust or lint particles. There are no obvious maker's marks visible on the front. This piece reflects a modern rustic or Southwestern style, likely manufactured in the late 20th to early 21st century.
