Measurements: 14” W x 4” D x 26 ¼” H

Description: On a rectangular wooden block are five acrobatic figures. The figures are represented similarly by wooden shapes. Legs of wooden tongs represent legs that extend from each quadrangular-shaped wooden head to form a triangle . Shortened legs of wooden tongs extend from the top portion of each set of legs, representing arms. The largest figure of the five is in the center of the arrangement, with his arms extendeding horizontally to nearly span the width of the wooden base. Two smaller acrobats stand below the large, central acrobat’s arms with their arms raised in a triangular shape above their heads, touching the large acrobat’s arms. Above the large, central acrobat are two figures of acrobats of medium size. They are positioned to nearly mirror the smaller acrobats below, as though they are performing handstands on top of the central acrobat’s arms.
