Handmade Native Dolls

Description

These dolls were passed down to me by my grandmother.  She was a missionary for the Navaho indian tribe in the early 1900's.  

This is a set of three dolls made out of some kind of straw.  Each doll has a head made out of some kind of dark bean which looks like faces.  They have handmade hats which are woven and are all unique to each doll.  

The hands are made of beads and there is no manufacturer markings.  They are definitely handcrafted.
