Summary
A doll made from a wooden clothes peg and dressed as Little Bo Peep. Her hair is made form brown mohair and she has a face cut from a colour-printed magazine page and glued on. Her arms are made from a pipe cleaner. She is wearing a stiff white nylon skirt edged with lace. This is stiffened further with a stiff, open-weave underskirt. She has an overskirt made from white polyester fabric patterned with dark blue spots, which is also edged with lace at the front edges. She has white nylon sleeves and another piece of the same fabric is wound round as a bodice. On her head is a bonnet made form the stiff white open-weave fabric, and in her left hand is a crook made from a pipe cleaner.
