Good grief Anne, don't try position 3 will you....? You might do yourself a permanent mischief!!!   :o

I've honestly never seen the like - could it be from a puppet show perhaps?

Too late! :hlp:  But I'm hoping the physiotherapy will help >:D

I think its just a novelty as its meant to be hung from something, and there's a thin chord to pull on which would appear to be threaded around her limbs.  It seems quite old, and for some strange reason which I can't explain, I immediately thought it might be French.  She's riveted together and has a wooden head.
