In Very Good Condition

Zuni Pueblo beaded dolls are exquisite examples of traditional Native American beadwork from the Zuni people (also known as A:shiwi), who live primarily in Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico. These small, intricately crafted figures are a vibrant form of folk art, often made by Zuni women using colorful glass seed beads to cover a stuffed or wrapped base (sometimes fabric, leather, or other materials).
They typically depict people in traditional attire, such as women in dresses, men in regalia, or representations inspired by cultural figures like Olla Maidens (women who carry water jars on their heads during ceremonies). The beadwork features bold geometric patterns, bright colors (turquoise, red, yellow, blue, white, black, and more), and detailed facial features with tiny beads for eyes, mouths, and hair.
