Summary
A rectangular foam shape covered in striped cotton white flannelette, made to be placed in the bottom of a cot. The stripes are purple, red, yellow, pink and green, of which the yellow, pink and green have faded to a greater degree than the purple and red. Along the length it is sewn together one end neatly in hospital corner fashion but the other two seams more untidily but still in a parcel style.
Provenance
Donated to the Museum of Childhood by Mrs Janette Gardiner in August 2010.
