Description
21" (53 cm.) Paper mache head with sienna-tinted complexion and painted features, black mohair braids, stuffed torso and arms with flannel blanket wrap, wooden lower legs, with original Skookums paper label on feet. Generally excellent. Mary McAboy, her portrait models of Native Americans were designed for tourist trade, yet were still compelling and quite accurate representations. This particular model has an attached original leather label "Palm Springs, Cal" which was a favorite weekend get-away of the Temple family in the early 1930s.
