The toy in the shape of the Chinese woman riding a horse and holding the Chinese lute in the hands was made at the beginning of the 18th c. during the reign of Kangxi emperor (1662-1722). It is made of the silvered tin plate and different other materials and has the mechanism that can be wound by key and spring. Both mechanism and spring are in the working order. Not only when the toy is animalized it runs in circle on the wheels but the horse is nodding its' head, opens the jaws, moves the tail. The woman is nodding the head, and moves the hands - maybe she was playing the lute (pipa). The toy could have been sent as the present from the Kangxi emperor to the Tsar Peter the Great. The interest of both rulers towards mechanisms and curiosities is well known. The toys with other presents could have been brought from China by the embassy of L.Izmailov (1719-1721).
