Listing ID #2438776

Thanjavur dancing doll is a type of traditional indian bobble-head or roly-poly toy made of terracotta material. The centre of gravity and total weight of the doll is concentrated at its bottom-most central core all the time so as to present a dance-like continuous movement with slow-damping oscillations. Hence it comes back to its normal seating position automatically after being tilteddisturbed anyway. Traditionally these toys are handmade and with painted exteriors.
