Summary
A wooden doll made from a clothes peg, dressed as a shepherd, with painted facial features. He has a white wool moustache and hair and pink stiffened jersey fabric hands. He wears a brown felt hat, black and white tweed effect cotton coat, and brown woollen trousers. In his left hand he holds a shepherd's crook made from a pipe cleaner, and he also holds a plastic lamb. He stands on a cork base. The peg doll appears to be handmade.
