Okay, so she is a porcelain doll, very fragile and brittle, basically like glass. But she can change her facial expression, and flex her fingers, so how does that work?

LONDON (AP) — It was not your typical smash-and-grab burglary and the booty was precious: a toilet worth more than its weight in gold.
The one-of-a-kind 18-carat gold toilet was swiped in under five minutes from Blenheim Palace, the sprawling English country mansion where British wartime leader Winston Churchill was born, in the predawn hours of Sept. 14, 2019, a prosecutor told jurors Monday.
Attorney Julian Christopher said in his opening statement in Oxford Crown Court that it was an “audacious raid.” One of three men on trial in the case of the purloined potty was involved in stealing it and the other two helped to sell the spoils.
The toilet has never been recovered but is believed to have been cut up and sold.
The satirical work, titled “America” by Italian conceptual artist Maurizio Cattelan, poked fun at excessive wealth. It weighed just over 215 pounds (98 kilograms) and was insured for 4.8 million pounds ($6 million). The value of the gold at the time was 2.8 million ($3.5 million).
