    Description

    Lot of 2 Vintage Navajo Handmade Traditional Doll in Velvet Dress.
    Great addition to a Native American collection or to a doll collection.
    These two were made in a similar era but by different Navajo artists as noted by the different styles of the handpainted faces
    Both have tightly stuffed cloth bodies with contrasting fabric shoes or moccasins,  full tiered skirt velvet dresses with rick rack trim, beaded earrings and necklaces, sequins, contrasting petticoats, waist belts and vinyl hands.
    Golden dress doll is approx. 9" tall and overall in good condition for its age and use. Some light staining on face. Her arms are free.
    Maroon dress doll is approx. 9 3/4" tall. Overall in good condition except for the hair which is coming unattached. This could easily be mended but I didn't want to modify the doll - I will leave that to the new owner to decide to repair it leave as is. Her arms are sewn to her sides.
    Please review all photos provided which includes some measurements.
