This is a fabulous jig or limberjack toy. Is a 13 tall carved wooden black man with jointed shoulders, hips and knees, a spring neck and original paint. He stands on a paddle that has painted in the center: "Dancin' Minstrel, " a star and a circle. Jig or Limberjack dolls are traditional wooden or tin-plate toys for adults or children.

This doll has loose limbs that step dance or "jig" on the end of a vibrating board or platform, imitating a real step or clog dancer.
