The lot features an Indian hide and trade cloth large doll from the Southern Comanche Native American Indians, collected from Anadarko, Oklahoma at the Wichita Indian Reservation and dating to circa 1930’s. The piece is constructed from an old trade cloth feed bag covered in Indian tanned hide, which is further decorated with original period correct glass trade seed beadwork in traditional Southern geometric patterns. The doll shows red mineral pigment ocher/ ochre, beaded facial features, cowrie shells, brass metal trade bells, commercial leather belt with brass metal studs, rolled tin jingle dangle cones, red stroud wool accents, Venetian chevron trade beads, Czechoslovakian bugle beads, and dentalium shell and hide earrings (with the shells being an early example with dark patina and Mother of Pearl Abalone button ends). The doll has real horse tail hair braided with red stroud wraps, a beaded dress and cap with leather belt having a trail, high beaded moccasins and beaded cuffs, beaded pipe bag or strike-a-lite bag, and beaded knife sheath. This is truly a wonderful example that is in well-preserved condition with supple hide; it is cotton trade thread sewn and displays very well. The beadwork is all early period correct glass trade seed and petit beads in colors of white, sky padre blue, corn yellow, cobalt, Cheyenne pink, and semi-transparent red. Provenance: From a private museum collection in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The doll measures overall 15” H by approximately 8” W by 4” D.
