Summary
A teddy bear made from light brown fur fabric stuffed with wood shavings or something similar. He is very worn, with holes (some mended) in many places and much of the pile is missing from his fur. The stuffing has settled in places, leaving his very pointed snout and the tops of his arms are almost empty. The fabric on the soles of his feet is very worn and patched, and differs from one foot to another. He has domed button eyes and what remains of his features (one claw on right foot) is sewn in black thread.
