Toy Mobile of Musicians

This kinetic balancing toy has three painted wooden figures of musicians of which that of the standing female is mounted on the central wooden column while the two males are shown seated on square wooden plaques attached to two ends of a bent iron rod placed at the pinnacle of the column.
This kinetic toy, with its balancing device, when given a gentle push of the hand, keeps the musicians moving up and down until it stabilizes again. From the drape of the sari of the female and the turbans of the males it appears that the toy comes from Maharashtra.
