The clothing of Seminole dolls is a significant feature, and reflects the traditional clothing worn by the Seminole people. Crafters make the garments with a technique called patchwork. They sew small fabric strips of various colors and patterns together to create intricate designs. The patchwork designs often incorporate geometric patterns and vibrant colors, including shades of red, yellow, blue, and green. Crafters may add additional embellishments such as ribbons, beads, shells, or embroidery to the clothing, which enhances the overall beauty and cultural significance of the doll. These dolls are popular among collectors and tourists seeking authentic Native American crafts.
This Vintage Doll Seminole Man stands approximately 10 tall. He stands on a slice of wood that is about 0.5 inches thick. He comes with a tag with the name of the crafter on it. We got this doll from a collection. You will see some stains and discoloration on his clothing. Structurally, he is in very good condition. One of a Kind!
