The bodice is embellished with lavender silk ribbon and sprigs of antique millinery fowers. Her shoulderhead is on a carton body with leather arms (age related wear to leather.) Her lower body is in the form of a full skirt which is mounted on a light wooden base from which extends her metal, boot style legs. A key is inserted in her left side to set her legs in motion.
