This is a nice black cloth native doll. I'm not sure when she was made but have had fancier ones that were made around the 1900's. I belive this one dates later as the cotton material reminds me of the 1940-1950's but you be the judge. She has the embroidered features and the quills used for fingernails. She has the individual rolled fingers. She has wide hips with the stiches to indicate knees. The shoes are sewn to the cloth feet. She has a stiff slip which I do see two tiny brown spots on the back. Then she has another slip that has heavy cotton trim and then her printed cotton overskirt. She appears to have on an a-line type bodice that hangs below the skirt. There are no panties sewn to this doll and I assume there never was. The cotton founce piece lays over the top of the skirt. She has on her headscarf wrap. Some of these dolls I have had before had a basket attached to the top of the head. This dolls looks like it's never had one and maybe this is to be a different type doll. The ones with the basket make you think of market day. She has beads for her earrings, necklace and on her wrist.What a great doll for the black collector. She is nice and clean. Outfit is crispy. She is from a smoke free environment. If you can enjoy her, please consider her purchase. Buyer to pay $20 for U.S. shipping, insurance, and handling. Thanks for viewing.
