MORNING BIRD SONG Native Amer Porcelain Fig -Sandra Bilotto -Ashton Drake (Yr)

MORNING BIRD SONG Native American Porcelain Figure by Sandra Bilotto -Ashton Drake Galleries Yr? The artist and sculptor Sandra Bilotto is known throughout the doll industry for the expession and elegance of her creations, her specialty being fine porcelain fashion dolls. Morning Bird Song is the first issue of the DAYS OF TOGETHERNESS COLLECTION and long since retired. The artist Sandra Bilotto created "Morning Bird Song" as the first of four lovely Brides from different regions of Native American Culture. I tried to determine what year this collection was released by Ashton Drake but my research came up empty.

I do believe she might be vintage by now. Morning Bird Song is approx. 19 tall, and has deep captivating blue eyes. She has a fine crafted porcelain head, arms, and legs, and cloth body.

She has long, shiny black hair, and a golden skin-tone complexion. She is beautifully dressed in a traditional beaded "suede" bride dress with fringe, matching beaded moccasins, headpiece with feathers, beaded earrings, and wedding bouquet of dried flowers. Her original doll stand is included with her. Her head does not move and there is basically no posing the arms, very little posing to the legs.

Despite that, every detail of this Indian maiden is amazing. I did not see any issues with the porcelain body or the costume.

As far as I can tell, the Indian maiden has everything she came with, however no box or papers were with her. She has a number and the designer's name on her back, but I was unable to determine if she was a limited edition or the year she was released.

I did display her in my bedroom, but she was not exposed to sunlight, pet or other odors. I will be listing 3 other Indian maidens, all designers from Ashton Drake, all just as beautiful as this one.
