Bisque lower arms are positioned outwards.
Painted composition legs show age-marks and are joined to a cloth body.

Her antique costume is original and firmly sewn on so have not attempted to remove it to take photographs :
Caramel top with elbow-length sleeves has a scoop neckline to show her jet black bead necklet with a pearl drop. Matching jet black bead bracelet on her right wrist, fingernails painted gold. At the back, a type of long, layered bustle is stitched on. The full length skirt is of golden-caramel brocade and her painted black shoes peek out from under the hemline. Under her gown is a half slip of rough material that shows age-marks.
All are shown very clearly in the enlarged close-up pictures.
