Summary
A pink quilted artificial silk baby's eiderdown with wound pink rope around the edges. The eiderdown is divided into grooved sections. Some of the silk has shattered and there are holes, possibly caused by insect damage. The underside of the eiderdown is covered in netting, with the same grooved pattern underneath. The inside of the eiderdown is stuffed with feathers, some of them coming out of the underside.
