India, circa 1880

A rare late nineteenth century Indian carved wooden tiger pull toy of exceptional large scale, the body painted in a yellow ochre with black stripes and a front paw playfully poised in the air, mounted on a green rectangular board with four wheels to pull. Probably made in Channapatna in Karnataka, a town still renowned for the production of its painted wooden toys.
