This is a very rare and authentic beaded doll from renowned Sioux Native American Indian, Mary Standstall dating to circa 1940-1950’s. This example shows all Indian tanned hide with sinew sewing, real human hair and all early period correct glass seed beads showing a typical geometric design. The beadwork shows a greasy blue background with patterns in chalk white, greasy yellow, cobalt, and red with additional beadwork in cobalt, greasy blue and medium blue. The doll has a beaded long dress with fringe, fully beaded shoulder cape with fringe, high top fully beaded moccasins and wampum choker. The piece shows a beaded bag at its waist with rolled tin jingle cones and wound glass trade beads along with being in well preserved museum condition. This is a very nice large size. Provenance: The set was authenticated by a prominent expert in Billings, Montana and is from Mary Standstall. Two other examples of Mary Standstall beaded dolls can been seen from the Dr. Kent Vickery (1942-2011) collection sold in Cowan’s 2013 Auction. This is the finest Mary Standstall example offered for public sale. This doll measures 18.25" tall by 14.5" wide.
