A mid-century child doll made of hard plastic or vinyl is included, featuring molded hair and plastic sleep eyes with eyelashes. The group also contains a composition or early hard plastic figure in indigenous-style attire, featuring a fur wig, fur garments, and multi-colored glass bead accessories.
