Description:Moving toys were very popular. This toy features a white fabric rose containing the head and arms of a doll. A clockwork mechanism is hidden inside the rose. When the key is wound, the doll rises from the rose and lifts its arms. It then drops back into place, and is covered with 'petals'.
