Tofa was a mid-century toy company producing wood and textile figures during a period when the nationalized Czechoslovakian toy industry was developing goods for both domestic use and export. Their puppets reflect the country’s strong folk craft tradition: simple carved forms paired with bright fabrics. Puppetry has deep roots in Czechia and Slovakia, tied both to rural folk entertainment and to the avant-garde theater movements of the 20th century.
approx. 10”x5”x2” (box)
