A charming vintage novelty figure featuring a flocked bear with a nodding (or “wackel”) head, mounted on a red velvet-covered pedestal with gold trim. These types of automaton-style toys were popular in early to mid-20th century Europe and often graced windowsills, children's rooms, or shop displays.
The bear's head gently nods with the slightest movement — endearing and slightly surreal.
