🔻A roly-poly or round-bottomed doll, usually egg-shaped, that tends to right itself when pushed at an angle.

🔻These dolls appeared on the territory of modern Russia approximately 200 years ago. At the beginning of the 19th century, Nevalyashka dolls enjoyed immense popularity and were widespread.

🔻Initially, the toys were designed in the form of buffoons, girls on a ball or fat-bellied merchants. Each doll was painted with bright colours in the traditional Russian style.

🔻During the Russian Empire, the center for the production of these dolls was the Nizhny Novgorod province.

🔻Toys were made of wood, most often from pine or linden.

🔻Historians believe that Nevalyashka dolls entered the territory of Russia from the East. Most likely, the first such toys were brought by merchants. The most popular version of the toy's origin says that it originated in Japan.
