The object consists of two visible parts: the upper shell adorned with the decoration, and the lower part, both made of slightly glossy plastic. The box is shown open, revealing the internal musical mechanism, typical of mechanical pull-string music boxes. A red braided cord, attached to the upper part, allows the box to be hung or operated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe metallic musical mechanism, visible in the photo, includes a pinned cylinder, a comb, and a cord-driven system. The pull-string ends with a white bead, matching the color of the shell. The overall style is retro, reminiscent of productions from the 1970s to 1980s, both in the heart shape and in the choice of colors and the central motif.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe exterior surface of the upper shell shows a slight patina and some signs of wear, indicating the object's age.
