She has traveled many a rough road, her clothes are in tatters and one of her braids has been cut off as if she had to raise money by selling some of her hair, but her beauty continues to shine through her delicately painted face. She needs a home where she can stay and never go on the gypsy road again.

**Plaster bust, arms and legs. Body is cloth-encased straw. Feet have painted white socks and gold shoes**

**Small wood-and-nail guitar (?) with glittery dots, pencil lines for strings. Cotton cord holds guitar to doll's wrist**
