A collector’s doll produced by The Ashton-Drake Galleries, featuring a head with fixed blue inset eyes and a brown synthetic wig styled with a fringe and white fabric headband.

The interior sides of the cardboard box are printed with the repeated legend THE ASHTON-DRAKE GALLERIES. An attached blue paper booklet is inscribed with the text HOW TO UNPACK AND DISPLAY YOUR… followed by illegible smaller print. No other maker’s marks, signatures, or labels are visible on the item.
