This doll is 11" tall. It is made of beads, wire and wood. Has blanket and buckskin details. I would love any information or even guesses as to this may be attributed to, and age? Thank you for your time and trouble.
This isn't a guess, it's a positive identification. It isn't Native American, it's African...a traditional Zulu beaded Sangoma (healer) doll. The doll is contemporary, and one of the most popular souvenir items from South Africa.
Thank you so much Canyon Road. I really appreciate the info. I love the idea of a healer doll. Can't have too much healing, especially in this day and time.
