Swiss cylinder music box . 21 1/2" cylinder playing 12 tunes. Housed in a Black Forest carved exhibition box with a carved chamois doe with fawn under tree for finial.

The musical components are complete are fully operational. A wonderful Swiss music box with great eye appeal and equally as impressive sound. 38" x 15" x 24"H to top of finial.
