[AUTOMATON]. Decapitation Magic Trick Automaton. Zdenka, contemporary. With Reuge music box. When activated, the doll moves a fan in front of its face. When the fan is lowered, their head has vanished. The head reappears in the die in front of the doll and a moment later, is back on the doll's body. A crescent moon atop the nearby trellis of flowers rotates. Finely crafted with bisque head and custom-made clothes. Height 16 ¾". Very good.
