The lot features four original, early 1900 Muscogee Seminole Native American Indian dolls, a doll family, of the early tourist reservation trade. The dolls show a coconut or palmetto fiber construction with various traditional patchwork trade cloth clothing, along with early glass seed bead and trade bead earrings and necklaces. The family shows a mother and father with two daughters in the bright traditional clothing, showing a nice overall condition for their age. Provenance: From a private museum collection in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. The large male doll is 10” L by 6.25” W; the large woman doll is 8.75” L by 5.5” W; the two smaller girl dolls are 5.5” L and 4 7/8” L each by approximately 4” W.
