Seminole dolls were carved from one piece of wood, and female dolls have a ball-shaped head of cloth or palmetto fiber; she appears to be about 12 inches (30cm) tall.
Notice the doll is dressed with 2 strips of materials, each sewn of narrow strips of cloth.
Below in the larger display is a Seminole man’s costume.
