A jig doll is a traditional wooden puppet or toy that is designed to move in a lively, dancing motion when manipulated. Often associated with folk art, jig dolls were commonly made in the 18th and 19th centuries and were designed to resemble human figures, often dressed in colorful clothing. When the doll's base is moved or the strings are pulled, it "jigs" or dances in a way that mimics human movements. These dolls were sometimes used in performances or as entertainment, especially in rural areas, and are now valued as collectibles due to their nostalgic and artistic appeal.
