"The Common Chiffchaff"
Description
This gift was given to First Lady Michelle Obama from Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of Qatar, during her trip to Qatar to speak at the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE) about girls' education and the Let Girls Learn initiative in November 2015. This gold-plated bird clock mechanism when wound up, tweets, turns, and flaps its wings once per hour. The mechanical bird is modeled after a common chiffchaff, or warbler. The back panel of the box lifts to access the 15 mechanical automatons made up of 500 individually made pieces. Etched into the back is text about the Islamic Golden Age and that the bird was created to honor the scholar and polymath Ismail al-Jazari (1186 CE -1206 CE). The piece was made by the music box atelier Reuge of Sainte-Croix, Switzerland, which are well-known for their mechanical singing birds.
