hair wig,French carton torso and legs,wire upper arms,paper mache hands,wearing her factory
original costume comprising suede leggings and boots,velvet coat and hat with brown fur
trim,and a large fur muff in which her hands are tucked. When wound,her head turns,she
"breathes" by moving shoulders up and down as though shivering,and moves each arm to and
