Starshine Prairie Flower Gotz Native American Cherokee Indian Doll

STARSHINE "PRAIRIE FLOWER" GOTZ NATIVE AMERICAN CHEROKEE INDIAN DOLL Available for purchase is a limited-edition Starshine Native American Indian doll.  This one is named "Prairie Flower", the second Starshine Doll to be produced.  It was made between 1990 and 1993.  She was designed and created by Robin Holland in Fort Collins, Colorado.  Under special agreement with Gotz Dolls, Holland used Gotz doll bodies, heads (minus wigs) and torsos to authentically and accurately create dolls that represent the historical, cultural, and traditional appearance of various Native American Indian tribes.  Prairie Flower represents the Cherokee tribe.  This doll was created in an intended limited-edition quantity of 250.  However, fewer were likely produced since they were made "on demand".  This doll originally retailed for $299.95. Prairie Flower stands about 18" tall.  She has the Starshine facial mold with black sleep eyes and a black modacrylic wig.  Her long hair is worn in two side pigtails with ornamental beaded ties and strips of rabbit fur.  He also has a beaded medallion on top of her head with yellow and red feathers, as well as a medallion on her chest.  Prairie Flower's medallions were hand beaded by local Native Americans.  She has a soft cloth body with vinyl limbs and is wearing a traditional Cherokee tear dress and red shawl.  Her red moccasins are made of leather. The back of the doll's neck is marked "Gotz-Puppe" and her body is stamped with the Starshine Doll name and address.  Her original hang tag is still attached, which includes information about the Cherokee tribe.  I do NOT have the original box.  I purchased this doll at a recent estate sale, along with another Starshine doll that I am selling separately (please see my other listings). Condition of this Starshine Prairie Flower doll is EXCELLENT.  Her hair needs some restyling, but she is complete and undamaged.  Her clothing is clean and she came from a non-smoking home.  As I mentioned previously, I do NOT have the original box.  Overall, this vintage doll looks fantastic and would make a fine addition to any collection.  Please take a close look at the many photos I've provided and judge condition for yourself.  I'm confident you'll be very pleased with this purchase. If you collect vintage dolls, especially Starshine Native American dolls, don't miss your opportunity to purchase this offering.  These dolls are quite scarce and are in high demand.  My Buy It Now price of only $539 is a bargain for this hard-to-find doll.  So buy it now before someone else beats you to the deal!
