🇪🇬 Egypt

Traditional and heritage toys of Egypt — living folk crafts still made today.

Egyptian toy heritage is literally the world's oldest — clay and wood animals with articulated jaws found in Old Kingdom tombs. Living traditions include the fanous Ramadan lantern (metal-and-glass), khayamiya applique tent-panels used as playing mats, wooden camel and horse figures, and Aswan Nubian painted dolls.
