This item is very well made, a delicate pull wind music box in the base, that plays a soft lullaby. The platform movement clock is mounted in a bronze ball that is nestled into a bronze palm tree, on which are hanging regimental flags. The box below has a military frieze of cannon, drums an cannon balls. Seems to have been a gift for a lady who lost someone in battle. The music portion has a few dampers that click, but overall plays nicely. Height 14 inches
