It wears a paisley print dress, hand-stitched in one piece, with a cotton muslin apron and matching headdress. The doll's arms are crafted from clothes pins, reflecting the resourceful techniques of the era. Originally filled with sand to function as a doorstop, this piece exemplifies the dual purpose of decorative and practical items from the late 19th to early 20th century.
