Summary
An accessory for a Sindy doll - described on the original box as a gig and harness - to be used with Sindy's horse. The set includes the main body of the gig, made from dark blue plastic with yellow wheels, a dark blue piece which fits at the back of the seat as a rail, and a silver-coloured stirrup. The gig comes with its original box, made from cardboard, colour-printed with images of the contents, then folded and glued into shape, with a flap at the front which tucks in. Also in the box is a sheet of white paper printed in black showing the pieces included and how to assemble the gig and harness, and a small torn-off scrap of printed paper which has a pink 'X' drawn on it. Total number of items is 6.
