The sweetest soft stuffed handmade Native American doll. Limbs and head are separate pieces and sewn to the body in a beautiful brown cotton. Hands and feet have hand stitching to show separation of fingers and toes. Cotton clothing is sewn with such detail and has multiple layers. Face is a combination of sewn eyebrows and nose, and glued mouth and eyes. Black yarn hair.
This is one from a rare collection of six Native American dolls. It's hard to know exactly when they were made but guessing from the fabric used for their clothing, I would say in the 1970s. Each one has a paper pinned to them explaining which tribe they represent. This makes me think they were on display at a small museum.
This beautiful doll represents the Navajo tribe. She is wearing a blue cotton prairie skirt over top a denim underskirt. Her top is a red velvet collared pullover that has three small silver-tone buttons. Her jewelry is a silver noise necklace and a blue and white beaded bow. Her shoes are two-tone brown moccasins with a side button. She is wearing her black yarn hair in a low back bun.
