This charming figure carries more than just its baby bundle—it carries the personal signature of the artist who created it. Tucked away on the cloth feet is the artist's name: TARA. This exciting discovery transforms it from a simple souvenir into a unique piece of signed Native American folk art, likely crafted in the American Southwest during the mid-20th century (1940s–1960s).
The figure is a papoose carrier, faithfully representing a person carrying the traditional baby bundle securely strapped to its back. Its simple, beautiful form and lack of definitive gender designation emphasize its purpose as an homage to the traditions of the culture.
