content: From card: "Doll is stuffed body covered with white cotton muslin head covered with white silk with features painted in black, red, brown, and pink. Black yak hair for doll's hair; plaited and tied with pink strings. Small hat of red silk satin over paper ama trimmed with coiled tinfoil sewn in place. Doll wears long coat of blue silk satin trimmed with white silk satin. Red rayon satin trousers, and shoes of same material with white cotton cloth sewn soles. Doll is held by female actor." When doll Catalogue No. E400427I was placed on exhibit in NHB Exhibit Hall 7, case 1, it was decided that its blue jacket was not acceptable for exhibit. Therefore, a piece was cut from scarf Catalogue No. E400432 and this piece was made into a jacket (orange) for the doll. When the doll was removed from exhibit in 2005, the curator, Dr. Paul Taylor, was consulted and he requested that the new jacket be stored with the doll.
