This beautiful doll is from the collection of member Sylvia McDonald and represents a woman from the Zulu tribe. She is made of stuffed felt and elaborately decorated with amazing beadwork, for which the Zulus are famous. The Zulu tribe is one of the several tribes in South Africa. These distinctive dolls were made in the 1950’s and 1960’s by Zulu women at the Red Cross Rehabilitation Center in Durban, South Africa.
