Featured NA Plains doll

I picked up this little doll at a thrift shop a few years ago.
Her dress is leather, and the hair is acrylic fiber. She's all hand sewn.
She has two beaded bags and a knife. 8" tall.
I know she's not very old, but she's really charming.
I was wondering if anyone can pinpoint tribal affiliation.
Thanks in advance!

 

Wow.....she has it all Goin On !!!

beaded Mocs
long breast plate
beaded shoulder bag....knife sheath, and strike a light...choker and beaded dress and bracelets and earrings too...
and a shell medallion !

She is......every Plains Indian.....all in one !!!!

Not sure u can pinpoint one tribe in particular....




but Lakota Sioux ...would be a fair attribution..

 

Thanks komo!
She was only a few dollars at the thrift store, and I had to adopt her immediately!
She is in great shape. Someone put a lot of work into making her. I love all the details!
Thanks for your assessment!

 

always my please to help where I can on Tribal NA items !!!

 

You da best!

 

She's a souvenir dolly, but I'd have bought her too. Someone put a pile of work into that, and all of her beads are intact. Usually they're thrashed.

 

I couldn't leave her there all alone and unloved!
The seed beads on her dress and bags are the extra tiny ones, only 1mm in size. Her beaded face makes me smile!

 

Sewing those bitty beads is not easy - voice of experience.
