Black Americana Dancing Figures with Joined Arms miniature chest of drawers black noseThere are a wide array of Black Americana wooden dancing figures, but I've never seen another joined pair like this. I imagine that there was once a thin rod or wire that attached to the holes on either side of their arms by which one would hold them up and make them dance, but now they are just as is. I really love the arc of those orange arms, which gives them a sense of movement even while they are standing still plus, there are those black boots!
