This is a large unit, top bird at rest, and center humming bird that appears to "flit" from branch to branch, the bottom bird tipping as if to drink from the "fountain", a turning rod of glass (in little alcove on right). The trees and shrubs in this unit are muted brown and you have to look closely to see the birds. With a two tune, pull wind music box that may be activated either independently or in conjunction with the key wind tweeting bird mechanism. Time and bell strike movement lower left with good porcelain dial and original moon hands. With a perfect glass dome. Height 23.5" $5500-6500
