Fairly sure it's a fake/model poodle moth. The wings aren't quite right imo

I expect it's not really the way irises work but since it's a clock making 12 sections might have made it more readable. Super sharp looking clock!

Is there a cutaway in that pot that makes it fit the crosspieces? It almost looks like there is?

I'm not OP but it sure looks like red oak to me.
