Beautiful 1940s Hand Made Indian DOLL detailed in traditional Dress Jewelry OOAK Antique Vintage--We have had this doll for many years & purchased her in an antique store. She used to have a tag that dated her to the 1940s - but it isn't with her anymore. She measures 16" tall & comes on her own hand made stand
she is beautiful & amazing down to the tiniest details. Believe her face & upper neck area is made out of a clay type pottery.
she has real lifelike eyes & tiniest teeth show thru her mouth. her hair feels like real human hair but I don't know for certain it just feels like it - the back part of her hair is braided into a very fine double braids that hange to her shoulders. she has a very old ribbon in her hair.
She has so much expression to her & she is only a doll. She has small double row silver bead necklace (similar to navajo pearls) she is wearing drop earrings with little beads & coral.
her arms & hands are stitched cloth & her legs & feet & body are also.
she is wearing an indian dress with beautiful weavings thru it & appears she is an indiginious indian maiden possibly or Navajo woman doll.
We had her on display & I had an apache burden basket added to her which is a gorgeous old small basket with tons of suede & many many dangling tin cones.
she is on an original stand that came with her as well that also looks hand made.
she is a beauty, & a difficult doll to part with. partly because of her uniqueness, her incredible detail, her outfit & her beauty. She seems to speak tho she is only a doll. the apache burden basket will come with her. so will her wooden stand.
She is unique, one of a kind & just beautiful!!!
