    Description

    For your consideration, a very special Plateau Native American Cradleboard Doll, possibly Nez Perce.  This came from a fantastic collection of Native American art and artifacts and was collected in the late 1970's, this doll was purchased at auction in Kansas City, MO.  I believe this doll is from the early to mid-19th Century and features real hair, incredible beadwork using several kinds of metallic faceted beads, a buckskin-covered cradleboard and fantastic large trade bead eyes.  Incredible detail, right down to berry-stained cheeks and a stitched nose!  There is a small amount of missing beadwork with normal wear for such an old and important toy.  Please see close-up pictures as they are an important part of this description.  Approx. 20" long, 9 1/2" wide at it's widest area and approx. 3" deep.
    I am happy to answer any questions you might have and send additional pictures.  Serious offers only please!  This is a museum quality piece of Native American Art and is pictured in an older version(1980) of 'North American Indian Artifacts' by Lar Hothem.  This will be shipped USPS insured mail with signature confirmation. You will not be disappointed!!! Thank you for looking and please see my other listings for more items from this collection coming soon!
