The image shows a handcrafted doll standing upright. The doll has a simple face with small, dark eyes and a flat expression, wearing a crocheted hat with a black decorative band. It has short hair made of the same material as the doll. The doll wears a blue crocheted outfit with intricate patterns, red-striped socks, a brown belt, and carries a round crochet bag on its shoulder with red highlights. Each hand holds what looks like a musical drumstick. The background is plain beige with the signature "VERNA TALLMAN" in the bottom right corner.
