She wears her original clothing consisting of a cotton dress trimmed with braiding, a "fur" breastpiece trimmed with fringe, a black belt, a tiny bead necklace, her original headdress (the top has mostly deteriorated, but the colorful round crown piece is in good condition. Her moccasins are painted. The clothing has some age soil, and the paint to one finger has chipped off. Her stringing is also a little loose. She was pictured in the Herron's Price Guide (1982) by R. Lane Herron on page 92. Wonderful little character doll.
