Doll wearing a violet silk dress trimmed with lace of gold thread and linen; sleeves of red (now bleached silk) with gold thread lattice studded with pearls; muff embroidered with red silk, gold and silver thread; frame of steel wire covered in light silk, 1590s [761×949]

"Previously there was a piece of paper attached under the doll's skirt with the inscription: "Denna dolla gjord af Konung Carl den Nijondes prinsassa", which probably refers to Katarina (1584-1638), through Count Palatine Johan Casimir or possibly Charles IX's wife Christina of Holstein-Gottorp."
