I cannot identify the objects in the little girl’s lap. I have used GIMP and Adobe Photo Element but I am a novice. Any advice? The photo is attached.
Thank you.

Thank you.
Do you perhaps have an original of the photo/scan? It has been heavily filtered/manipulated.
It looks to be a baby doll on a larger diaper or swaddling cloth.

Only the girl could actually explain, what it was. Or how her life happened and ended. Thank you, girl!
Thanks Cedric. I have had different thoughts about the object(s), none of which are conclusive.

Mlenard,
This young girl was my mother and I was not aware of the photo until after her passing. Thanks for your reponse.

(I’m not convinced by deepL’s translation so…)
Mi suposición es que es un gorrito.
Para la sesión fotográfica, el fotógrafo ha dispuesto a los niños y al padre y luego ha cogido un peine y ha peinado sobre todo a la niña y el niño que hay detrás, que se ven perfectamente peinados.
Entonces la niña, para ser peinada por el fotógrafo se ha tenido que quitar un gorrito que llevaba puesto en la cabeza y no sabiendo dónde dejarlo lo ha apretado y arrugado con su mano y se lo ha dejado en su regazo.
Como podéis ver, estoy hecho un Sherlock Holmes… 
My guess is that it’s a beanie.
For the photo session, the photographer arranged the children and the father and then took a comb and combed the hair of the girl and the boy behind her, who look perfectly combed.
Then the little girl, in order to be combed by the photographer, had to take off a little hat she was wearing on her head and not knowing where to put it, she squeezed and crumpled it with her hand and put it on her lap.
As you can see, I’m a Sherlock Holmes…

Looks like a doll lying face down, Only the doll is sad, they usually are smiling or have a neutral look

Looks like a doll (they were much simpler before plastic, and the primary material was wood for inexpensive ones, at least in Europe).
