Wool and plant fibre doll. A small boat is constructed of unbleached fabric layered over a stiff framework, likely plant fibre or husk. Fine brown netting is wrapped around the ends of the boat and spans the length of one side between them. Three woolen figures sit inside the structure, each with a large head covered at back by a woven hood, red stitching for facial features, and arms constructed of plant fibre wrapped with yarn. Each wears a striped woven sweater and a burlap skirt.
