Original Description:
Very rare and original, 1920's Native American Plains / Sioux Indian Bead Decorated Hide Doll. This rather primitive, early 20th century Beaded Hide Doll measures approx. 9" tall and 4" at its widest. We believe that this Doll was made for sale to the tourist trade using smoke tanned hide fringe and hand spot stitched beadwork.
    This fascinating Plains / Sioux Indian Doll is thread sewn by hand and features chalk white and black colored beads that make up the ...facial features. The Doll has an entirely smoke tanned body, head, arms and legs with hand cut fringe at the shoulders, hands, back of the leggings and the bottom of the tunic.
    The Head and Face are also made of smoke tanned hide and her mouth, eyes and nose are formed by white and black seed beads. The doll beneath the hide cover is made of an early 20th century, muslin type cloth and stuffed with a very dense batting of some kind (possibly excelsior)
    Provenance: This wonderful Plains Indian Doll was recently deaccessioned from the collection of the Hopewell Museum, Hopewell, New Jersey.
    The Doll offered here is unconditionally guaranteed original and of the period. It is NOT a reproduction or modern recreation but an original Sioux Bead Decorated Hide Doll crafted in the early part of the 20th century. The Doll comes with our “no questions asked” return privilege and our lifetime guarantee of authenticity. They are guaranteed to be deemed authentic, original and as described by any qualified third party authentication service.
    This very rare and wonderful, 1920's Plains / Sioux Indian Bead Decorated Doll is in good to very good condition. All of the hide and cloth elements are well preserved and sound with light surface soiling as can be seen in the scans below. There is some very old, thread reinforcement at the Doll’s neck. The beadwork is spot stitched and there is some bead loss to the Doll’s right eye as can be seen in the scans below.
    A very rare and charming, Primitive, Folk Art style, 1920's Native American Plains / Sioux Indian Bead Decorated Hide and Cloth Doll and a fantastic addition to any collection!!!
