Maybe someone can help with these pieces. All the stitching and chord is like a "cat gut" The face on the doll is carved stone.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

First - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard! Second - it really does help if you let us know where you found the doll.

anything you can tell us on its background helps a lot. how long you had it, where did you get it, what is its story....etc. Most trade dolls are going to be "prettier"...more fur lining, feminine, bead work etc. is the face green soapstone?

yours could be either made to deceive, or perhaps an actual toy used by native children. either way, it is a nice looking object.
