1992 Navajo Cloth Doll by Rose Carillo – Signed, Handcrafted
This beautifully handcrafted Navajo storyteller cloth doll by Rose Carillo is a striking example of Southwestern textile folk art, dated March 21, 1992 and signed on the right leg. Known for her expressive and culturally grounded pieces, Carillo's work captures the essence of Navajo heritage through meticulous craftsmanship and traditional materials.
The doll’s face is fully embroidered by hand, featuring bold, almond-shaped eyes and a gentle smile. Her black yarn hair is styled in a traditional bun and accented with white ties. She wears a layered outfit: a floral cotton skirt in soft blue, green, and pink hues, and a deep purple woven shawl, edged with red ribbon trim and hand-knotted yellow fringe, which adds texture and visual depth.
Her teal blouse is decorated with sequins, and the doll is accessorized with tiny beaded earrings and hand-stitched moccasins made of felt leather, embellished with glass seed beads in shades of blue—hallmarks of Carillo’s detailed approach.
