The head features braided black hair with facial features done in 19th Century period glass trade seed beads of chalk white and cobalt with remnants of red ocher blush on the cheeks, the beadwork sewn with sinew and the hair sinew and hide lacing. The dress shows a classic Lakota geometric pattern dating to the 19th Century with period correct glass trade seed beads being sinew sewn and showing colors of chalk white, blue, greasy yellow, greasy medium green, red white heart, also shown on the hide belt and across the bottom of the skirt in a zig-zag pattern, all being sinew sewn. The bottom of the doll shows high-top moccasins with the same colors of period correct beadwork that is sinews sewn. The hide is mostly supple with some slight hardness. Provenance: From the ex-collection of Bruce VanLandingham who owned Sundog Gallery in Bozeman, MT and a private Santa Fe collection.
