Summary
A rectangular mattress made for a doll’s bed covered in white fabric, and stuffed with an unknown substance. The fabric is dirty and stained and there are several holes, some mended. On one side it is decorated in two diagonally-opposite corners with, in each corner, one large and two small flowers and their stems embroidered in white thread. It may have been made out of a pillowcase.
