This is a miniature replica of
Nietzsche's Writing Ball. Designed by Rasmus Malling-Hansen in the late 19th century, the Writing Ball won numerous awards and was far more technically advanced than its competitor, the Remington typewriter.
The original Writing Wall is about 20cm tall, this replica:
"Medium" (1:4) is about 5cm tall
"Small" (1:5) is about 4cm tall
"Extra Small" (1:6) is about 3.5cm tall
