This little zebra was made in Denmark by a designer named Kay Bøjesen. It’s a wooden toy, made of birch wood.
Toy animals are one of the oldest types of toy. Noah’s Arks, with pairs of zebras, lions and many other animals, became popular toys in the 1800s.
No two zebras have the same stripe pattern.
