More ingenious toys are the bull with a nodding head worked by a stiff fibre (Pl. K, 8) and the curious monkey-like animal with movable arms. Figures which ran up and down a string, and whose progress could be accelerated at will by manipulating a cord, were evidently known, for some have been found with angular perforations for this purpose. The majority of these more complex toys are obviously not the work of children, and were probably made by professional toy-makers.
