Model of a double cape see in a wooden frame with three levels. The upper drum is for ten wind trees with ten spindle lamps, the lower one for eight wind trees with eight spindle lamps; two poles in the floor prevent the upper drum from receding, one for each direction of rotation. The floor around the base of the lower drum is provided with a sloping surface; around the base of the drum is a ring on wheels to reduce friction.

The wooden king rotates with a point on a track at the lowest level and is equipped with another ring with wheels that runs against the attic of the lower level, to prevent the king from rising.
