The moss bag has been used by Indigenous Peoples to keep a baby snugly wrapped, creating a warm, womb-like environment that makes the baby feel safe and sleep better. The top of the bag holds the head secure.
Moss bags traditionally held freshly gathered sphagnum moss which kept the baby dry and rash-free.
Moss bag measurements approx. 9.5" long (excluding lace trim) x 4.5" x 2.5". Doll approx. 8" long.
