Miscellaneous, Dolls, Skookum Family of Four, 34″ Display, Vintage, 803
FAMILY OF FOUR
The family aspect is something very important in the Native American culture and these lovely skookum dolls depict just how important it is. Each of the dolls are wrapped in a calico blanket detailed with a pastel colored aztec design. The man features leggings, a pink shirt and a trade bead necklace. The woman is actually very rare because she is carrying two babies on her back. She too features a trade bead necklace and a long skirt. Both have composition faces of dark skin and black mohair in ponytails. Each of them stand about 34 inches tall, four dolls you will not want to play with but rather keep on display for any visitor to enjoy.
