Musical Conjurer Automaton. Spain, Zdenka, contemporary. Single air cylinder musical movement causes the miniature magician to wave his wand. As he does, he lifts the box in his other hand and the cards on the table change three times, finally vanishing. Bisque head, embroidered jacket, pleated sleeves. Velvet-covered base. 12 ½” tall. Very good.
