[Copper Plated Enamel Building Flower Reversing Bell]

Copper Plated Enamel Building Flower Reversing Bell, Qing Qianlong, with a height of 104 centimeters, a face width of 39 centimeters, and a thickness of 31 centimeters
The bell body is copper plated with gold and decorated with blue ground gold flower enamel. The clock has three floors, with a built-in scene on the front of the ground floor. In the scene, there are three ivory figurines, one holding a staff in the middle, one kneeling on both ends, and one holding a bottle to dump. A curved track is paved between the two bottle mouths, with rotating water techniques and architectural paintings in the background. The front of the middle floor is a silk curtain painted with European idyllic scenery, with enamel panels inlaid with character stories on both sides, and pineapple flowers at four corners. The four corners of the upper layer are provided with a rotatable stone flower bouquet, with three circular clocks in the center. The outer side of the clock is decorated with copper plated gold flowers and leaves, and a rotatable pineapple flower bouquet is also provided on the top
The music and activity devices of this clock are installed in the ground floor. After the mechanical startup, accompanied by the music, the head of the person holding the staff in the middle of the bottom scene swung from side to side, as if enjoying the performance. A copper ball poured out from the left bottle mouth, rolled along the track into the right bottle and fell into Zhong Rang. The bell rang is equipped with a Fried Dough Twists shaft with a sleeve. The rotating Fried Dough Twists shaft stirs the ball into the left bottle again and pours it out from the mouth of the bottle. The middle curtain is threaded on a crossbar with gears at both ends connected to the transmission system. After starting, the gears at both ends of the pole are moved, driving the curtain to gradually roll up. On the turntable in the scene inside the curtain, there are sacrificial figures such as horses carrying bottles, elephant carrying towers, and acrobats who flip the horizontal bar. After a certain period of time, the curtain falls again, and the curve ends. The curtain returns to its original position. When starting, the enamel columns, corner flowers, and top flowers at the four corners of each layer of the clock body also rotate accordingly
This clock is exquisite in craftsmanship, especially with high requirements for the production of movable mechanical devices.
