Summary
A brown velvet stuffed doll wearing a yellow dress. The doll has a brown velvet head, body, arms and legs. She has a knitted face with blue sewn-on glass eyes, a crude sewn nose and a crude embroidered pink mouth. She has a very worn piece of fur (artificial) fabric sewn around her face, mimicking a bonnet. She is jointed at the shoulders and hips. The surface of the velvet is very worn and there is a tear on the right leg just above the foot which has been repaired using black thread. The doll wears a bright yellow manmade fabric dress with short sleeves with a deeper yellow paisley pattern. There is a white ribbon around the waist tied in a bow at the front.
