Anri – Rolling Eye Woman

Anri – Rolling Eye Woman

May 13

 

Here is a another very rare Rolling Eye Anri that came in for repair from the Leavenworth Nutcracker Museum.

 

As you can see in the pictures below, this piece had a previous repair on the handle and bit of damage around the mouth and bonnet.

I was able to separate the old repair performed on the handle, re-join the pieces, and blend them to make the repair seamless.

Here are more pictures after the restoration showing the mouth and bonnet repairs.

Here are a couple pictures showing why these are called “Rolling Eye” Anris. The eyes roll and change color when the lever is moved.
