VegaBond Head

Mixed Media Music Box

SOLD

7″D x 14″H x 5″W

The travelling baby head is one of the familiar characters in this QuirkishCircus.

Part music box, and part hurdy-gurdy… he heralds the arrival of the show! Standing alone or in a procession of characters, the Vegabond Head evokes memories of a Victorian Era where a touch of the absurd was sometimes introduced to add whimsy to the everyday routine.

The accompanying booklet reads:

"The VegaBond Head is the travelling kind
And wanders aimlessly...
And inside that head, the song on his mind
is revealed with a turn of the key."

The Music Box plays “Funeral March of a Marionette”
