Summary
A doll whose face is made from an apple and sits in a rocking chair. The apple has decayed to a black substance and the features cannot be distinguished. He has white artificial hair and wears a round black felt hat, a blue and white check cotton shirt, black wool trousers with black braces, and one shiny black shoe on the right foot. The left foot is made of a fragile grey composition. He sits on a wooden rocking chair painted black with a yellow lining. The top board behind his head is decorated with gold paint, white flowers and red fruit. A cardboard ticket tied to the chair states that the item was obtained from Thinking Market, Ontario, and made in the Mennonite community. Total number of items is 2.
