THALAYATI BOMMAI

These traditional Thanjavur Indian bobble-headed or roly-poly toys are made of terracotta or paper & clay

Also known as thalaiyatti bommai. They are handmade and painted over with bright colors

A tanjore doll is a type of traditional Indian bobblehead or roly-poly toy made of terracotta material

Its centre of gravity and total weight is concentrated at its bottom-most central core all the time so as to present a dance-like continuous movement with slow-damping oscillations.
