| | The Clapper | Explanation:
From the first link: "The oldest automaton on the clock, the skeletal Death tolls the death bell for every hour and flips his hourglass, numbering your days. He is nicknamed Klapáček (the Clapper) for his chattering jawbone."
From the second link: "Orlojník Jan Táborský, autor spisu Zpráva o orloji Pražském (1570), zmiňoval jako autora mistra Hanuše z roku 1490 (ztotožňuje se s Janem Růže). Ten orloj zdokonalil, opatřil kalendářní deskou a přibyla první figura - Klapáček (Smrtka)."
Czech and English sources agree. Seems pretty solid reasoning to me. |
