Summary
A soft toy rabbit made from light-brown fur fabric and sewn in a sitting pose. He has black plastic, button-like eyes and black thread embroidery to form his nose and mouth. He is stuffed with an unknown substance and also has a few plastic pellet 'beans' in his feet, like a beanie toy. On his feet and hands are pads of shorter-pile fur fabric. This fabric is also used as the undersides of his ears. Around his neck, a frayed pink ribbon is tied in a bow. Sewn into a seam at the back is the manufacturer's label, which is in the form of an embroidered ribbon and has information on one side and an image of a yellow crown on the other, with the words 'The Manhattan Toy Company Ltd' in black.
