Novelty dancing toy, boxed, with instructions. The dancing puppet is a jointed wooden figure representing a racialized caricature of a sub-Sarahan African woman. It is painted black and is naked except for a grass skirt made from dyed and undyed straw. It has large painted yellow earrings, and red, yellow and white bracelets. Its painted eyes look to the toy's left, and the large, red mouth has a smiling expression. The figure's breasts are two wooden discs, with the nails used to fasten them to the body representing nipples. The figure is simply jointed at the shoulders, hips and knees. A long metal wire is affixed to its back by a screw, terminating at the other end with a loop.

With the figure is a cut plywood board, which twists slightly along its length. This is the surface on which the figure 'dances'. There is a printed paper sheet of instructions. With the toy is its original box, made from card and stapled. Affixed to the lid is a colour printed label, advertising the toy's appeal, indicating its use and showing an illustration of Dinah dancing to music.
