"Great is the power of memory that dwells in places." (from Cicero)

Toy with lead weight

Horse and rider are standing on a pedestal, yet not attached, with a lead weight helping them to keep their balance. The figurine swings when nudged, but still stays up there. The acrobat, turning a circle once nudged, works on the same principle. It is not possible to identify the carvers of these toys, as they are anonymous.
