This is a huge chest with the middle roof swinging backward and the 2 side swinging resp to the left and right. The open middle roof shows another inside box with 2 lids and movable. The chest has in addition 2 drawers. The compartment under the right roof has a tray which can be taken out. Under that tray there seems to have been a compartment for batteries to light up the scene in the middle, i suppose, but all that has been taken out by an earlier owner and electric cables partyly cut.
The middle part show 3 ballerina's, all three rotating with the music. With the mirrors in the back it seems that there are 5 ballerina's dancing! The key to lock the middle roof is not available.
The japanese scenes on the front and 2 sides are really well done.
The music mechanism is not open to inspection, but from the key suspect it to be Fuji.
