Description: | Anthropomorphic coat hanger consisting of a thin piece of ply wood, cut into the shape of a woman's head in profile, with shoulders underneath from which to hang the clothes. The front has been detailed with paint, whilst the back is left plain. At the top of the woman's head, there is a hole with a strip of fabric passed through it, to create a hanging loop. There is some woodworm damage on the back, which has weakened a section of the ply and caused it to snap.
