    The music movement is mounted inside the stand, the authentic key labeled "LB" for the movement winding and starting the tune is on the rear side.

    While the melody is played, the girl raises and lowers the ball with her left hand, turns her head from side to side, holds the doll in her right hand, and brings it to her lips, as if imitating a kiss.
