Finding Erzebet's body;
She is a rag doll, very old, surrounded by other dolls, all
buried together. The rest of the dolls
sit around her. Her eyes are black
buttons, her hair is black thread piled on top of her head in a knot, similar
to her painting. She is a body turned into a rig doll. Her dress is faded, but there is still a high
collar, or rough. The skirt is dark with
lacings, the sleeves long, once white linen, puffed at the wrist. Her mouth is
embroidered.
She has turned into the doll over the centuries, morphed
into cloth stuffed with dried grass. Her
autopsy consists of a a seam cut down the middle to see what kind of grass her
stuffing is. A group of little girls are
the MEs. She and the other dolls were
dug out behind the runs of an old doll hospital in Prague.
