The automaton, fashioned as a dark-skinned young woman, is mounted on a rectangular wooden base with metal frame. An electromechanical drive for the automaton is installed inside the base. The drive includes electric motor, rheostat, and mechanical gearbox. Actuating rod passing through the figure's right leg transmits movement to the automaton, causing the girl to sway her head and hips. An electric cord with a two-prong plug connects the motor to 110V power source. Metal nameplates with the manufacturer's name and the letters 'AP' are fixed to the base facade. Such automata were typically displayed in shop windows to attract customers, with the merchandise for sale placed upon the trays.
