The doll has a mask face with painted features, floss hair and a tightly stuffed cloth body. He wears a linen tunic with its edges stamped to replicate embroidery and a felt jacket with striped linen pants. His shoes are the traditional woven sabats . He has a felt cap. His costume front has a cloth label sewn on the pants stamped “Made in Rossia”, the transliteration of Cyrllic for Russia.
