Notes:
A traditional Russian wooden toy featuring two moveable figures. The two carved goats stand face to face on platforms with their front legs resting on a carved log. The goats are fixed to the board with metal pins. Each platform has a small handle that when pulled moves the goat figure back, allowing them to knock heads. One of the figures has been glued and no longer moves freely. The wood is darkened from handling. On the underside of the figure is a faded ink stamp, possibly in Russian.
