The Harpist

This is an Automata from the Automatamania museum. She is probably my favourite one from the museum, though I like others equally as much. She may look a little tatty and maybe a bit creepy, but once you see her move and play her music she captivates you in a wonderfully peaceful way. The harp itself is missing from this automata, but the hand movements are so beautiful without it I'm glad that the museum did not restore her too much. She is still in perfect working order.

Close up of her hands can be found here ;[link]
