Roly-Poly "Nativity" (R 38)
Wooden Bell (Roly-Poly).
Hand made and painted by artist in Russia.
Collectible.
Russian roly-poly toy: the “Nevalyashka Doll” (“Doll Neverfall”) or “Van’ka-vstan’ka” (“Ivan-get-up”).
This doll is different from others: when you try to tilt it, it comes back to upright position and at the same time makes a wonderful melodic ringing. These dolls are made of wood with a built-in musical mechanism. The artists also paint such dolls with a variety of subjects: Folk Tales, Traditional Russian ornaments, etc.
