Description

Antique fully beaded Zuni Olla Maiden Doll. Condition is "Used". Shipped with USPS Priority Mail.
It has a nice water olla on the top of the head and a beaded braid on the back of the head. The hooded cape is beautiful and a rare design. Hard to see in the picture, but the inside of the olla is also beaded. It is made with closely sewn seed beads. Zuni artists create a form and bead over it to create beautiful patterns and designs. It is 8" tall.
We inherited this in the 1960s but know that it was acquired pre World War II. This piece is in great condition, with minimal signs of wear commensurate with age. Please see photos for details.
