Summary
A wicker cradle for a doll, on a wooden base with wooden rockers. The brown wicker is woven into a traditional, 'Moses basket' oval shape, with a slightly raised foot end and a much higher head end. The base is quite thin, and has a rocker nailed on at each shaped end. There are smaller nails securing a few of the wicker uprights in position.
