Floating Mummy. Dresden: Herbert Paufler, ca. 1960. A box representing an Egyptian temple is opened to reveal a mummy’s sarcophagus on a short table. The table is removed and the mummy floats in space, and then out of the cabinet of its own accord, then back inside. A hoop is passed over the figure twice to prove no connection with the surroundings. Motorized, with numerous electrical components including side lights in each door. Cabinet 13 x 16 x 14”. The first of these props constructed by Paufler. Finely painted with mock hieroglyphics featuring a magic theme by Ute Deutsch. Operates with DC power. Not tested.
