[AUTOMATON]. Conjurer Clown / Magician Automaton. Switzerland: Zdenka, contemporary. With Reuge music box. The magician lifts a hat on the table to reveal a single die; after covering the die and waving their wand, they lift the covering to reveal an apple in the die's place. This repeats again to reveal a game of dominos. A mouse peeks out from under the table toward a piece of cheese on the ground. Finely crafted with bisque head and custom-made clothes. Approx. height 18 ½". Pull string somewhat loose at base, else very good.
