Crow Beaded Doll
ca 1890

wearing a green wool dress dotted with white glass pony beads and red wool yarn wraps in hair; red wool yarn wraps in hair; beaded leggings and moccasins; knife sheath housing a bone knife with the handle in the form of an owl

Some native tribes believes that owls are the messengers of death, while others see them as having great wisdom.  Either way, this knife is a nice touch (Fenn 2007:104).
