\u2013 from a private collection<\/em><\/p>\n

This exquisite animated taxidermy sculpture features a Muskrat Jester professing his love by presenting a beautiful white rose bud with an irresistibly charming grin of gold. The Muskrat Jester is wearing his finest velvet garb with a magnificent headdress to match. His ring and eyes are made of high quality genuine jade. He is set in an alluring scene of antique clockwork inside of an olive green wooden vintage clock case. A golden ornate windup key comes out from the back and can be turned to play the music box tune \u201cSend In The Clowns\u201d. Watch in delight as the Muskrat Jester turns his head while raising his arms up and down. Measurement: 22\u2033 tall 13\u2033wide 4.5\u2033deep.<\/p>\n
