American Cloth Mascot Indian for Stanford, Autographed to Shirley Temple

Live Auction

15" (38 cm.) Of brown cotton sateen, the caricature depiction of a Native American was designed as the mascot of Stanford University throughout much of the 1900s. The character with stylized nose and large googly eyes has flannel tunic with felt letter "S", and was designed by Jack Dixon in 1938. Later, the design came under controversy and, finally, in 1991, the design was changed to a redwood tree motif. Generally excellent. Shirley Temple's mascot is from the original design and is autographed by the designer, "To Shirley - Jack Dixon".
