Description
4 1/2" (11 cm.) Each is of carved bone with richly-detailed frame,depicting Chinese acrobats on
balancing bars. The acrobats are designed with loosely-jointed limbs,and when the side handle
is turned,they perform front and back flips,and tumble and turn. Excellent condition. Mid-19th
century,the toys are notable not only for their well-executed mechanical action,but also for the
exquisite detail of carving.
