Navajo Cloth Doll in Silk & Velvet – Beaded, Handmade, 13"
This handmade Navajo cloth doll presents a beautifully detailed figure dressed in a striking blend of silk, velvet, and felt. Her ensemble is accented with sequins and delicate glass beadwork, creating a vibrant and festive appearance. Though unsigned, the craftsmanship reflects traditional Navajo textile art and ceremonial dress.
The doll wears a vivid red top paired with a flowing multicolored skirt. Her wool hair, styled in a traditional manner, shows some signs of wear but retains its form. Her facial features are embroidered with expressive detail, and her accessories—earrings and a beaded necklace—add to her cultural authenticity.
A colorful and expressive representation of Southwestern folk tradition, this doll would appeal to collectors of Indigenous art or handcrafted textile figures.
Condition:
Good condition overall with some visible wear. There is minor wear to the wool hair, but all other fabric, stitching, and beadwork remain intact and visually appealing.
Dimensions:
13 x 7 x 3 inches
