Doll with a cloth body and is dressed in fabric garments. Its legs are disproportionately large, wrapped at the feet in navy blue and multi-coloured fabric, followed by off-white fabric, and then brown fabric with an off-white crisscross and floral pattern. The head is wrapped in blue fabric, covering the face and neck, with a black yarn necklace around the neck. The doll has small red rectangular earrings with orange beads. The back of the head is wrapped in off-white fabric, and the doll wears a navy blue hat with a multi-coloured pattern. The top consists of various fabric pieces stitched together to form a tunic, featuring vibrant red and blue patterned strips of fabric in vertical stripes, a dark brown band with pink floral patterns, and a large yellow rectangular patch on the back. The tunic's shoulders match the hat and foot covering. Over the tunic, the doll wears an off-white bib with black yarn stitching along the edges. The arms are small and made from plain off-white fabric. The body is filled with stuffing.
