Quick Overview
Holding a coup stick, this little female Crow doll is clothed in a red trade cloth dress and adorned with conch shell earrings, beadwork, and a concho belt.
Description
Her dress is made of red wool trade cloth and edged in dark green trade cloth at the neck, sleeves, and bottom edge. White seed beads spread across the front and back of the dress represent elk teeth. A row of beadwork accentuates the top edge of the chest and shoulders of the dress. She also wears a concho belt around her waist.

Her leggings and moccasins are unadorned and made of buckskin. The leggings are secured with leather laces, just above the moccasins.

Her face is painted with earth pigments in a design inspired by a vision had by the artist's father-in-law. The doll's hair is made of black horse hair and painted red at the part. On each side, her hair hangs in long braids secured with a leather tie.

She wears a necklace of light blue beads and two imitation elk teeth; her earrings are conch shells with a single red bead.

Her coup stick is made of a wooden stick with a dangle of horse hair attached to a leather tie.

The doll's body is made of fabric and stuffed with cotton.
