An Aberdeen terrier dog of silver black mohair plush, stuffed with wood wool. There are card joints at the neck and tops of all four legs. There is a short tail. The eyes are clear glass with black pupils and the nose and mouth are stitched with black wool. The nose is vertically stitched and the mouth an inverted Y. The ears are two triangular pieces of mohair stitched to the top of the head. There is a squeaker (with no sound) on the underside of the dog. There is very little wear. The ends of the feet are all slightly misshapen and there is some displacement of the stuffing in the tail.
There is a detachable leather collar that is probably original to the dog.
