A delightful vintage Christmas piece that replicates folk art balance toys, popular in the late 1800's. Crafted of hand cut and hand painted metal and holds a tiny jute rope to steer. Rocks forward and backward while balancing perfectly on the stand. In Victorian times, these toys were used to demonstrate an aspect of science with a simple counter weight. Charming holiday decor.
