It is drawn by two gilded white horses with red painted gold capped drivers leading a large red wagon with harps and lion heads, all loaded with 8 intrument playing men, and led by a master driver. The arms on the band members are articulated allowing modest movement...

This toy is an excellent specimen of a somewhat hard to find category and is in very good shape with about 90-95% of its original paint intact.
