meaning - What does "Bo Peep" mean in this context?

"Bo Peep" is a character in the film:




Bo Peep is a porcelain figurine attached to Molly's bedside lamp inspired by the heroine of the famed nursery rhyme; a beautiful, sweet-natured shepherdess accompanied by a single figure merged to resemble three sheep, who serves as Woody's romantic interest of the films. In spite of her status as one of Molly's toys, like Mrs. Potato Head she may fall under the category of Andy's toy.




Here's an image of her... you can see a bit of her skirt and her shepherd's crook in the image your question asks about.

In general, "Bo Peep" is the subject of one of many traditional nursery rhymes, "Little Bo Peep":




Little Bo-Peep has lost her sheep,
and doesn't know where to find them;
leave them alone, And they'll come home,
wagging their tails behind them.
