Rose Carillo Navajo Cloth Doll – Signed 1992, Beaded, 3 Children
This beautifully hand-crafted Navajo cloth doll by artist Rose Carillo is a signed and dated piece from March 19, 1992, showcasing remarkable Southwest folk artistry. Dressed in a layered floral skirt, wool shawl, and turquoise top, the doll is accessorized with lapis bead earrings, suede moccasins with glass bead embellishments, and three small child figures sewn into her arms, reflecting maternal themes common in Navajo storytelling dolls.
The doll is made from fabric, felt, yarn, punched metal, and glass beads, with a finely embroidered face and traditional hair bun crafted from black and white yarn. The artist's inscription—"Rose Carillo, Navajo, 3-19-92"—is hand-written on the leg seam.
A striking collectible, this piece captures cultural detail and skilled craftsmanship, making it a valuable addition for collectors of Indigenous art or textile folk dolls.
