Summary
A cream and brown toy cow with curved horns, glass eyes and brown leather collar with metal bell standing on rectangular dark brown wooden base which stands on four small metal wheels. The cow is made of wood and composition covered with hide and with horns. When the head was moved from side to side originally the cow mooed. The mechanism does not appear to work now. There is a hole in the front of the cow's chest. The tail ends in a tuft of cream and brownish hair.
