Motion include the spinning oy the replica tin in the middle, movements of the automata are head movements, arms lifting and bodies turning. Wood constructed base, composition figures with glass eyes. CONSIDERATIONS: Showing minor wear to the figures, some staining to the replica tin, but nothing to distract from the overall appearance.
