content: A female doll wearing a green velvet dress likely made by the Navajo people of the Southwestern United States for sale to tourists. The doll has black hair tied back with a white piece of yarn and her face is painted on. She wears a blue beaded necklace and earrings and the front of the dress is decorated with three metallic embellishments. The green velvet dress goes past her feet and there is a blue and white bow around the waist with two stripes of red rickrack near the bottom of the dress. There is a multicolored cotton underskirt and she wears brown fabric boots. She is similarly constructed to and may have been made by the same person as another female Navajo doll (401088).
