Erzgebirge Arbor Vitae w. Rotating Platform Depicting Life Cycle

.This box has a stone bluebird on top of the tree (but broken).
Themusicboxman feels that it is highly unlikely that it is original.
If there was a bird that should have been wooden, not stone or porcelain.
Therefore likely added by an earlier owner.
All figures on platform complete.
However, 2, out of 8, feet missing. Box still stable.
Long key for wind-up connected to top mechanism.
