Summary
A doll's eiderdown, made from pale pink (originally lilac, according to the donor) silk or nylon fabric (circa 1960). It has wadding inside and is quilted into patterns, a border near the edge and a 'bow' shape in the centre. On the 'right' side the quilting stitching incorporate a silky braid in the same colour as the eiderdown. In the centre of the eiderdown is a small pale blue darn.
Provenance
Donated to the Museum of Childhood by Miss Carolyn Aldridge in July 2007.
