Young toddler with one-piece bisque head, torso and legs, jointed bisque arms with spread fingers, is wearing a sculpted white romper suit, shoes and socks, along with white bunny hood and pink-tinged ears, brown forelock curl, side-glancing eyes, closed mouth. Attached to the toddler's back is a large pink-shaded egg- shell candy container. The romper suit has drilled holes at sides of legs for insertion of silk ribbons (in the manner of Baby Stuart's cap). Professional restoration to back torso. Attributed to Gebruder Heubach, circa 1912, wonderfully detailed characterization and costume of the rare bunny doll.
