This is a toy with weight attached to base causing it always to recover its standing and to make a pleasant sound. It is made of birch wood. All the operations do not involve any measurement and rely on intuition and require great skill. After the turning work on a lathe is done the dolls are cleaned, primed with starchy glue to make its surface smooth, polished and now are ready for painting. After having been hand-painted they are dried for several days. Then the doll is ready for the lacquer to be applied. Many different coats are needed to give the doll the brilliant shine. The doll is covered with 6 or 7 layers of lacquer. The doll measures 3 3/4" tall and 2 1/4" at the bottom part.
