Descriptions
Object Description
Doll made of woven fabric. The very fine doll’s hair is decorated with beadwork and attached to scalp tissue. Visual inspection suggests scalp and hair is human. Reddish to brown hair is attached to the scalp. The two braids are 10 cm. in length and tied with leather. Examination under microscope needs to be done to determine if the hair is from a Native American individual. The waist is also wrapped in a lock of black hair at least half a meter long and tied with a knot.
