DescriptionThis cradle and doll are constructed of leather, fabric, beads, and wood. The top portion of the cradleboard is arched and features small wood panels that make up the sides. Additionally, a contouring set of white and red beads frames the arch, which is lined with tan fabric. The small doll inside the cradle has no facial features, but it does have a visible head and a vibrant red blanket held down by several strings that criss-cross each other. The base of the cradle is constructed of wood in a narrow, egg-shaped form, with small planks of wood at the very bottom.
