Summary
A peg doll made from a wooden clothes peg with a pipe cleaner forming her arms. Her hair is made from brown wool, wound around her head and her facial features are drawn on with a black pen. Her shoes are suggested by colouring the ends of the peg with black ink. She is wearing a long black felt skirt and a black and white striped cotton blouse which has very puffed sleeves and a tiny piece of lace at the front neck. She is wearing a mortar board (which is becoming unstuck) made from black felt with a tassel of black cotton strands, and carries a cane made from half a wooden cocktail stick.
