Summary
A toy animal, possibly a squirrel or a kangaroo, cut from a flat piece of wood and painted blue with red and white stripes down its back and red splashes and black and white flowers on its sides. It is in a sitting position, and the body is pivoted on an axle through the hips so that it rocks to and fro.
