These articulated wooden dolls are designed to dance or “jig” when mounted on a vibrating board or paddle, which the operator taps rhythmically, often in time with music.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypically handmade from wood with jointed limbs, jigger dolls were often painted and stylised, reflecting folk art aesthetics. Their simple construction made them popular home-made toys or tools for street performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe term “jig” comes from the lively dance the doll performs. The doll’s jerky, rhythmic movements made it look like it was dancing a jig, hence the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese dolls served both as toys for children and tools for adult entertainers. They bridged musical performance with visual amusement, a form of kinetic art that was affordable and widely accessible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition is good, commensurate with age and use.
