I just saw an ad from a crafts company, for a leaflet entitled "Dandy Dinos to
Crochet".  Does that answer your question?  The cover shows 3 creatures in
bright yellow, purple, and lime green, each with high forehead, large eyes, and
broad, embroidered smiles.  This is about as far as one can get from museum
jargon.
