62. Decapitation Automaton. Switzerland, Zdenka, contemporary. When activated, the doll moves a fan in front of her face, and when it is removed, her head has vanished. The head reappears in the die in front of the doll, but a moment later, is back on the doll’s head. Finely crafted with bisque heads and custom-made clothes. 14 ¾” high. Very good.
