Geisha Girl Automaton. Paris: Pierre Mayer, ca. 2002. Handmade wooden automaton with exposed works. The Geisha raises the cup to show a ball underneath. As the crank is turned, the cup descends, she waves a fan, the cup is raised and the ball has vanished – only to reappear on her shoulder. Hardwood and metal construction. 6 x 3 x 7“. Signed by the maker. In a heavy custom Lucite box which allows the automaton to function while covered.
