Summary
A 'Norah Wellings' type fabric doll with moulded and printed facial features and inset blue glass eyes. Stylistically she looks similar to a Kathe Kruse or Lenci type doll. She has a light brown mohair wig. The hands have stitching delineating the fingers and thumbs. She is wearing a faded blue-grey velvet outfit comprising a matching jacket, leggings and hat. The jacket is trimmed with artificial pink fur on the neck, front edges and cuffs. The jacket fastens with two white buttons attached to a strip of blue felt. The hat is trimmed with a blue felt bow and she wears blue felt shoes. She is wearing a white cotton all-in-one bodice and knickers trimmed with lace.
