content: From card: "The cradle is of willow roots secured by twining at intervals, openwork twine. There is also a hood for the cradle of the same material and technique. There is a band of zigzag green yarn introduced in the hood for decoration. The cradle contains a life-sized doll wrapped in a cotton blanket."

content: There is an old handwritten tag with the artifact. Tag says: "This specimen was obtained from someone who obtained it from the Indians and who said they were "Washoe" Ind. living near Carson, Nevada. ... The face [of the doll in the cradle] was painted by a boy of the tribe." This tag appears to be in the hand of Frances Densmore, indicating her as the possible collector of this object.
