Navajo Cloth Doll in Purple Velvet Dress – Beaded, Handmade, 11"
This elegant handmade Navajo cloth doll showcases traditional attire in vibrant detail. Dressed in a rich purple velvet dress adorned with sequins and white ric-rac trim, the doll reflects Navajo cultural heritage through careful craftsmanship and textile artistry. Although unsigned, the quality suggests skilled Native American folk artistry.
The doll features a hand-embroidered face with vivid red lips, long lashes, and black yarn hair styled traditionally. Her outfit is accessorized with a colorful beaded necklace and matching earrings, while her belt is patterned in a Southwestern motif. Her hands appear to be shaped from vinyl or a similar material, giving her a structured stance.
A striking piece of folk art, this doll captures the ceremonial elegance and pride of Navajo dress and makes an excellent addition to any Indigenous art or textile collection.
