Red walnut rocking cradle with burl graining. The cradle consists of a rectangular base with flaring walls that rise into a cover over the head. The edges of the cover, or tester, are cut into a baluster shape, and the top is rounded by using three boards. The cradle is on two rockers, placed at the head and foot. The shield-shaped back board (or headboard) is pine.
