The doll wears a flowing, ankle-length cloak featuring a free-spirited combination of feathers and faux fur. It appears to be slightly blowing in the wind. The feathers lining it are in homage to the gold eagle. Those repeated in her headdress add a dramatic touch. Her dress and shoes are constructed from imitation suede for an added final touch. The soft pale fawn colored shift sports a thigh-high side slit. The gently curved hem of her dress has multiple slashes in it. The knee-high gray moccasins are adorned with the topaz and amethyst colored beads. The detailing on her shift and her soft boots is incredible in its delicacy.
