SATYR by Collectors' Workshop

Satyr Head Automaton. Middleburg, Va.: Collectors’ Workshop, ca. 1990s. Heavily cast bronze satyr’s head with exposed works, designed after the nineteenth-century models, with a clockwork mechanism that causes the figure’s eyes and teeth to move. At the finale, the satyr’s grotesquely long tongue unfurls, revealing two selected cards, and a moment later, two more cards spring up between his horns. Claw-footed base with the manufacturer’s plaque to the rear. Height 22”.  Consigned. Please allow 10 days for delivery.
