Lulu - Head

The automata mechanisms, designed
and machined by the artist, consist of an
internal crankshaft, which enables the
Automaton Monkey figure to operate at
varied speed, in forward or reverse.
The brass hand-crank mechanism
operates a counterbalanced armature,
creating a rhythmic side-to-side motion
with alternating leg kicks,
so LuLu can practice her ballet.

Total dimensions: 14"H x 9"L x 8.5"W
(including 2.5" brass crank handle)
