Description

Wooden Noah's Ark playset consisting of an ark-shaped box, people figures, and animal figures. The rectangular box has a flat oval base extending past the narrow edges, and a peaked roof. One side of the roof removes to open the box. The sides are painted in a Tudor style with brown beams, white walls, and barn-style winders. The figures include 3 people (wearing yellow, orange, and blue) and 25 animals. While some animals are generic and thus unidentifiable, others can be identified as a camel, an elephant, a tiger, cows, pigs, and cats.
