The skull is a real Persian house cat skull with realistic acrylic BJD eyes and lashes.
Her hair is made from high quality auburn English viscose, and she is wearing a bonnet made from antique Victorian lace, adorned with silk ribbon and silk embroidered roses.
Her body is sculpted with paperclay over a messing rod frame with apoxie for extra strength.
She is dressed in a cotton dress adorned with antique laces from the Victorian era, silk ribbons, and the tiniest buttons.
Under her dress she is wearing an underskirt from antique lace and a beautiful skincolored bloomer.
Her legs are covered in cotton stockings, and she is wearing leather and metal polio braces and shoes.

She's holding a 3” handmade teddybear, made to look old and used.

Her 'dead' stuffed needle felted hare is missing one paw.
It is tied to the wooden cart she is pulling with a leather belt.

The wooden base is adorned with hand grinded stones and sand, aged with patina.
The doll can be removed from her base but is not free standing.
