This is a Skookum Indian souvenir doll, a commercial figure produced for the North American tourist trade. The doll features a molded head with painted facial features, notably eyes glancing to the left. The head is finished with black fiber hair and a decorative accent of dried straw or grass at the forehead. The body is wrapped in a miniature machine-woven wool trade blanket with geometric patterns in red, black, and gray. Below the blanket, the figure wears olive-green felt leggings and tan leather moccasins. This construction and style are characteristic of Skookum dolls produced from the 1920s through the mid-20th century. No manufacturer labels or marks are visible on the exterior.
