Cherokee Indian doll handmade Native offers American

The sweetest stuffed handmade Native offers American doll. Limbs and head are separate pieces and sewn to the body in a beautiful brown cotton. Hands and feet have hand stitching to show separation of fingers and toes. Cotton clothing is sewn with such detail and has multiple layers. Face is a combination of sewn eyebrows and nose, and glued mouth and eyes. Black yarn hair. Multiple strands of seed bead necklaces around neck.

This is one from a rare collection of six Native American dolls. It's hard to know exactly when they were made but guessing from the fabric used for their clothing, I would say in the 1970s. Each one has a paper pinned to them explaining which tribe they represent. This makes me think they were on display at a small museum.

This doll represents the Cherokee tribe. She is barefoot and has long black braids. She has a white underpinning skirt.
