She has a slightly faded black linen body with original ebonized wood stand. Although the fabric covering is now very shabby chic she's just so charming. Some very small tears to the body.

The little spinning top at the top of the mannequin has disappeared and has been nicely replaced by a cut glass stopper. Slight depression of the chest.
