Automaton, so-called Triumphal Chariot with Minerva

ca. 1620 | Achilles Langenbucher

In this table automaton two mechanisms drive the chariot itself, the figures and a mechanical organ. The two horses move up and down, the small satyrs and the monkey on the back spin around. Minerva rolls her eyes, and polyphonic music sounds from the organ.
