Descripción
Dolls with moving parts, similar to "jumping-jacks," particularly those used by children in ancient Greece. They were typically made of wood, bone, ivory, marble, cloth, wax, alabaster, or terracotta, with articulated arms and legs that were made separately and attached to the doll's body with cords, which allowed the limbs to move. Earliest examples date to about 800 BCE.
