The “body” in the web is actually an early turn of the century Martha Chase Hospital Doll.  Martha designed, handmade, and hand-painted these life-size dolls to be used as training tools for nurses in schools and hospitals.   I am sure Martha Chase never expected one of her dolls to be used in a Halloween window display but for a brief period it is perfect as a spider’s treat.
