Figural Music Box. Wax Baby Jesus. Early twentieth century French automaton music box. Wax baby lies in a lace and satin-lined case of paper-covered wood, with interior satin padding. When wound, the song plays and the baby raises and lowers its head and opens and closes its eyes. 14 x 8 x 8 ? ?. Working, but needs tightening of cords controlling movement. Toning to lace and satin, with exterior of box lacking paper cover on sides.
