The lot features a scarce and authentic beaded hide doll from renowned Sioux Indian artist, Mary Standstall dating to circa 1940-1950’s. The large doll is comprised of Indian tanned hide with sinew sewing, real human hair and early glass trade seed beads beadwork. The doll is wearing a large Indian tanned hide dress with beaded cape, showing a beaded belt around the waist and beaded high top moccasins at the feet. Under the dress the piece is constructed with trade muslin with trade thread sewn blue trade clothe clothing. The beadwork shows colors of cobalt, chalk white, medium blue, red white heart, and red. The dress has hand cut fringes around the entirety of each arm, across the bottom of the dress and on both sides of the skirt itself with beadwork around all sides. The head and hands are also Indian hide. The hide is in good supple condition with the piece showing little to no bead loss and no major damages. 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 with this being one of the largest of the examples offered for sale. This doll measures 18.5" tall by 18" wide.
