The doll shows a tent / tipi canvas and Indian tanned hide construction with Indian tanned hide clothing having long fringe, glass trade seed beadwork and real human hair. The cradleboard has been wonderfully preserved and shows little to no bead loss. Provenance: From a large Minden, Nevada American Indian collection and the previous collection of Janule Wicz.
