This is a very vintage Native American Iroquois corn husk boy in beaded clothes from the mid-20th century.
He is 10” tall.
It is a highly collectible doll that depicts the culture and artisan skills of the Native American Iroquois Nation in the United States. The doll is handmade and has a unique charm that makes it a great addition to any antique or vintage doll collection, or for a collector of vintage traditional Native Amazing arts and crafts.
The doll's provenance is not available, but its clothing and beading style identify it as as having been made by a Native American of the Iroquois Nation. The Peoples of the Iroquois have a centuries long tradition of making corn husk dolls, and this boy is a good example of a vintage 1950 era doll. The country of origin is the United States. It belongs to the category of collectibles and cultures & ethnicities, specifically Native American: US, dolls & kachinas. It is a beautiful representation of the art and craftsmanship of Native Americans.
His Face is a bit frayed, and neck is a tad wobbly, (all of which have been taken into consideration in his price) but he is fully made of corn husk twisted into human form and dressed in traditional Iroquois clothing with traditional beadwork. His hair is woolen yarn.
