Its arms are made of multicolored beads, each displaying a variety of patterns and hues, providing a vibrant contrast to the rest of the figure. The doll's legs are represented by fluffy, textured material resembling wool, which adds a soft and playful texture to its overall design. At the ends of the legs, small bead-like feet are attached, giving the doll a quirky and charming stance. The doll is holding a small rope, which adds an additional element of character, suggesting the depiction of a miniature character, possibly with nautical or rural themes.
