They were termed as Coeur d'Alene dolls when I bought them. I don’t know if that’s correct? Could they just be Skookum dolls made by non natives? The faces seem to be wood but I’m not sure what type. They almost look like dried carved nuts. The hands and some other pieces are leather. There is some beadwork. Some eyes are beads but I don’t know if those are original or stuck there later. Condition is rough but they have more character than you can shake a stick at. There’s a gun carved from wood that’s to die for. They seem pretty early to me. I can’t imagine they are newer than first quarter of 20th c. I guess someone will pick up clues from fabric and beads or wire used. I absolutely love them. I think I bought them with the intention of flipping but I don’t really see that happening now. I really like the cross legged lady. I’d like to hear some opinions from the gallery.
