Great and very RARE , antique , French paper-maché miniature mannequin automata, automaton, window store display , barrel organ doll , NAPOLEON Bonaparte What a great miniature mannequin this is!! Look at that character head Stil has it’s original clothes. The small bicorne hat with östrich feathers comes with him. Material: paper-maché Clothes : felt Size :approx 47 h (120 cm). It has two iron wires coming out of the wooden base. When you pull this wires the head goes back and forward and his left arm goes up and down. Pointing you the right direction. In his body is a mechanism that make this work. It needs some TLC I think it’s not the Original wooden base. It was probably standing on a other base or maybe on a barrel organ. Now you have to pull the wires by hand because it misses it’s driving unit. But even when it’s not working it is a super decorativ miniature mannequin , window store display doll.
