Description |
Inuit ("Eskimo") woman doll with fabric covered cork in native costume. She has molded and painted facial features; black painted brows, lashes, and big eyes, stitched protruding nose, pink thread mouth and painted red rosy cheeks. She has long black hair, yarn, covered by a pink scarf and gray felt hat with wide brim turned up. She is wearing a large blue-checkered shawl over a white blouse with blue and pink embroidery. She has a blue, felt wrap skirt with a yellow & red stripe embroidery with a pink arrow in the corner. The opening of the skirt is filled with a white cotton with yellow embroidered hem. Around her waist is a woven belt in colors of white, orange, green and yellow on a black ground that matches her woven sandals. Low on her shoulders is a white scarf padded in the back and knotted in the front (perhaps not part of costume but for doll protection). Her left arm is by her side, her right bent at the elbow, her hand holding a wound stick of string with a ball of string hanging. Her fingers are stitched. She also wears long earrings of black beads and large gold beads and two bead necklaces, one of gold beads matching the earrings and the other in colors of black, green, and red. She is standing on a cork square covered with a woven mat in colors of black, white, yellow, and beige. Pink thread is stiched on the base bottom. |
