A wooden tray with gilt ormolu border is attached to the doll by metal rod from torso; and arranged upon the tray are two paper-mache apples with stems and leaves; inside one apple is a glass-eyed monkey and inside the other is a pair of all- bisque dancing dolls. Movements: the girl turns her head from side to side and nods, she taps the tray three times with her right hand and one apple opens, revealing the monkey who turns his head from side to side; she taps again and the other apple opens, revealing the bisque couple twirling around in a dance.
