Doll with a cloth body dressed in layered fabric garments. Its disproportionately large legs are wrapped in brown fabric at the feet, followed by green fabric up to the thighs, light grey wrapping above that, and brown-red fabric around the hips and waist. The face is undecorated and dark brown, while the head is wrapped in the same brown-red fabric that extends down to the hips, with a green band at the waist. Additionally, the doll wears a yellow beaded necklace. The doll's long brown fabric arms are wrapped and extend straight out to the sides. It wears a beaded leather hat with short fringe and yellow and orange beading, and an apron with a long fringe, featuring beaded detailing in brown and vibrant blue around the waist. The fringe in the back extends beyond the doll’s length. The body is filled with stuffing.
