Description: | Bone toy, possibly a toy 'karakuri', a contraption used in performances. The toy consists of two very small jointed bone dolls on bone bars, attached to a thin stick made of discoloured bone. The dolls are wearing 'fundoshi', Japanese loincloth, indicated in a pink stain, and hair in black stain. They are attached to a metal spring at the top of the stick. A model fish made of bone hangs from a loop attached slightly lower down the stick, which tapers towards the lower end. | Publisher: | http://www.horniman.ac.uk/ | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Subjects: | wood metal string bone toys Family and Home | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | oai:oai.horniman.ac.uk:object-134779 | Go to resource |
