Summary
A small doll's sized bed or cot which has a metal framework. The majority of the object is made of strips of metal. At the head of the cot the strips extend to form the legs and there is some fancy scroll work for ornamentation. The foot of the cot is also made of strips of metal extended to make the legs. On either side of the cot are two parallel strips of metal with a vertical joining piece about half way down. Two pieces of crossed wire stabilise the cot and provide support for a mattress.
