    early 20C, 1910-early 1930's, I am guessing judging from the estate and item,
    hand made / hand sewn Native American doll
    .
    Body is made of a brown colored buckskin or kidskin.  Flat-dimensional face, features articulated with glass beads, also at neck & around waist in front.  Bottom outside edge of legs has fringe.  The arms terminate in fringed fingers and are pinched and twisted just above the hand.  Soft fat wool yarn is sewn into the back of the head, some strands have come loose.  This figure / doll has small ears.

    ckskin or kidskin is "shedding" a little, it leaves a light trace I noticed on a white cloth

    I referenced the book " Buckskin and Beads, Native American Folk Dolls" by Florence Theriault.  Many tribes had similar style dolls.  I think the closest example was  #8, pg 9, a New York Tuscarora Brave 1.  However there were other dolls that had some of the features from different tribes.  I'm certainly no expert and there is not a lot of research out there as far as I know on this subject.  I can guarantee it is an older Native American doll, found at an antique estate having other old Native American pottery and baskets.

These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up - do not confuse them for additional shipping charges.  I do not mark merchandise below value on customs forms or mark items as "gifts" - US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. I am not responsible for a timely delivery due to varying International customs delays.
