Episode 124 - Artefact in Time

This is another exhibit in the Clock Hall of the Forbidden City at Beijing.

When the minute hand of the clock reaches twelve, the doll will wave her fan. When I visited the Clock Hall in 2005, this doll clock was placed at the demonstration corner. The demonstrator turned it on together with other beautiful clocks at the designated time slot and the clocks sang together like a musical symphony.
