AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Automaton of French origin, probably from the early 1900s. Once the automaton is loaded with the charge placed on the base, it begins to move its arms up and down and to rotate its head slightly with a slow and measured movement. It measures about 33 cm in height, 20 cm wide, and 16 cm deep. Weight about 1 kg. Head, hands, and legs in biscuit. The body is soft, presumably a type of straw padding. The hair looks real, brand no. 37 on the neck. Some signs of wear scattered, mainly on the clothes. Some glue marks on the table. See the photos; they are part of the description. It will be packed carefully and shipped via tracked mail. I do not ship outside the EU.
