secret mechanism workings

Okay the secret to what is hidden under the raised section of the inside of the tin shrine is in this video clip. I added the music box sound just for the video, it it's part of the altered tin.

The top base is gold leafed with black lace and ribbon roses, the edge of the top and bottom is a eggshell colored trim, inside is red felt and the same trim as the outside edges, there is a raised section inside because there is a hidden mechanism (but I'm not going to tell you what it does). The green oval is molded celluloid and there is a ceramic rose next to it ,the little pieces on the raised part are gears from a watch plus a rhinestone. the inside top is red felt with paper corners and a dragonfly charm.
