A soothing and relaxing movement with a subtle purr as the mechanism powers this big cat along. All four legs are powered by the chain drive and the remarkable realistic action is achieved by the flexible joints of the weighted front paws, this results in "engaging friction" and is a good example of throwing away the engineering rulebook to achieve a spectacular result. Made around 1890 by Roullet & Decamps of Paris, this Leopard is missing its head, body and tail.
