Description
A - Doll - hand carved wood with jointed arms and legs. The doll is painted black with red and yellow striping to indicate some sort of costume. It has a hard hat nailed on its head. There is a hole in the back between the doll's shoulder blades for a dowel or handle. B - Base - The bottom of the base is cut so the top looks like three waves and is painted blue with red striping. At one end is a white porcelain knob which holds down one end of a paddle which extends out over the base. This is the "floor" on which the doll dances and it vibrates enough to activate the jointed doll.
