Vintage 15 inch handmade Seminole doll featuring a spectacular multi-layered patchwork dress with vibrant stripes and patterns.
This colorful folk art piece has an embroidered cloth face with stitched eyes, eyebrows, mouth and nose dots, black yarn hair, and a beautiful three-strand turquoise beaded necklace. The skirt is made with dozens of different fabric scraps in a classic Seminole patchwork style.
Comes with an original “Seminole” tag pinned to the dress. Excellent condition for its age with rich character and wonderful detail throughout.
This doll is part of a small collection of mid-century Native American dolls acquired by the original owner during family visits to relatives who taught on reservations in New Mexico and South Dakota. Matching Navajo and Comanche dolls from the same collection are also available.
A fantastic addition to a Native American folk art or vintage doll collection.
