Automata of the Devil, which can move its head, eyes, mouth, tongue, and emit a strange noise to frighten visitors. Italy, 16th-17th century [4000×5000]

[Museum](https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/automata/ggG_1opfb9hu-A). This automata depicts a devil enchained whose internal mechanism enables him to move independently in order to frighten visitors. The mechanical function is at the back and is activated by a handle, which enables the head to turn to the right and to the left, the eyes to rotate, and the mouth to open wide, showing his tongue and emitting a strange noise. The torso, whose extreme naturalism recalls Christ at the Column by Bramante (today in the Pinacoteca di Brera, Milan), may have been created reusing a Lombard wooden statue of the early sixteenth century. The automata was one of the key pieces of the most famous Wunderkammer in Milan, created by Manfredo Settala.
