Swans rocking

Children's rocking toy from the 1950s-1960s, carved from solid wood and hand painted. The stylized bird, with white and yellow-orange body, black and red beak details and reed design, is perched on wooden skids with blue paint. The surface bears a distinctive patina, abrasions and in places the paint has been rubbed off in its original state. Suitable for indoors. A striking prop for a film, fairy tale, series and themed photo shoot for a child's room in the spirit of socialism.
