Summary
A peg doll made from a wooden clothes peg with a pipe cleaner forming her arms. Her hair is made from black cotton, wound around her head and her eyes are dots made with a black pen. She is wearing a long dress made from stiff white cotton fabric patterned with green, brown, orange and blue flowers. This has narrow lace at the neck and cuffs, and a bright green velvet belt. The same green velvet is used as a muff hiding her hands, and as a 'pill box' hat which has a brown feather stuck on at the back.
