The figure of the girl playing the flute is movable—the nail that once secured her is now loose, allowing slight movement when the frame is tilted. This adds a dynamic, almost animated charm, though it can be re-secured if preferred.
Patina is visible, especially around the feet, which is typical for its age and adds authentic vintage character.
Some surface smudges and aging signs (depicted), consistent with its history as a mid-century handmade piece.
Please see all photos for full details. Item is sold as-is.
