  pyit taing daung

 

Myanmar

Pyit taing daung are knock-about egg-shaped dolls in Myanmar with a serene smiling face, which are made of papier-mâché and weighed down with some clay stuck inside the base, in order that they can be rolled about, yet always end up standing upright again, regardless of how hard they have been pushed or thrown, nor in which direction.
