    The automaton is mounted on a flat rectangular wooden base painted black. When switched on, the figure of a fisherman comes to life. The right hand holding the fishing rod rises and falls, the head turns to the right and to the left. Brown power cord in brown plastic insulation, with the two-pole plug, comes out of an aperture in the stand rear side.
