24" White Buffalo Woman

Original artist Michelle Mastel.

She has a hand painted head and limbs with a cloth armatured body, dark brown glass eyes and human hair wig. Her clothing is made of wedding suede, a dress with leggings and moccasins. Her cape is made of sheared lamb skin and Tibetan lamb. The cape has a geometric painting on the back which is a female design. She has earrings of antique hair pipe beads and shells.

White Buffalo Woman, according to native lore, was originally a white buffalo calf, very rare. She brought a beautiful pipe, with a circle of white feathers and beads and presented it to the Dakota people. The people believe that when the pipe is smoked before speaking one cannot lie.
