Two Lammily dolls face each other with Roman style arches behind them. The doll in the foreground is Lammily's "photographer" doll, an African American doll with a black afro hairstyle, a white gathered top, a turquoise colored mini skirt, and the doll holds a camera. Just beyond her is Lammily's "Traveler" doll dressed in a white flowing toga, with a gold belt. Her hair is done up in a high bun, with gold ribbons. She holds a yellow-gold wooden lyre. The text says, "Lammily," and below that, "Doll of the Day."
