Stuffed doll of an indigenous American woman. The doll is made from two pieces of cotton printed with the image of the front and back of the doll. She is a dark-skinned woman with black hair in two braids. She is wearing a blue cloak with red-and-white trim. The reverse is printed to show a baby in a carrier wearing a war headband. The bottom center of the reverse is printed with the label, "MOLLY".Context
Molly, and her husband Joe, were St. Francis Abenaki people whose figures became central to Vermont culture after Joe's actions during the Revolutionary War were publicized and, later, romanticized. The pattern for these dolls was widely printed and sold throughout Vermont as tourist souvenirs. These particular dolls were constructed by Katherine Dopp from a kit she purchased at a gift store at Joe's Pond in the 1950s.Acquisition
