Vintage Heritage Dolls “Indian Tribes of the U.S.A.” Sioux Buffalo Dancer, from Heritage Dolls, a division of Sunbell Corp., Pine Ridge, South Dakota.
The original box identifies the series as “Indian Tribes of the U.S.A.” and the back of the packaging lists Buffalo Dancer No. 8-512.
This beautifully detailed doll wears a traditional-style Buffalo Dancer costume featuring a large black buffalo-style headdress with horns, long black hair, beaded decoration, patterned leggings and additional costume details.
Included:
* Original Heritage Dolls/Sunbell cardboard display box * Original interior doll stand/insert * Educational pamphlet giving a brief history of American Indian tribes * Doll in original detailed costume
The doll appears to have remained secured in the original packaging. The original clear cellophane display window is no longer present.
The box is vintage and shows considerable storage/age wear, including discoloration, edge and corner wear, tape/tape residue, handwriting.
A very interesting vintage Native American-themed collector/souvenir doll with particularly nice original packaging and documentation.
