antique Minerva doll, brown Native American Indian baby papoose board hand painted folk art

Interesting old doll, an Indian baby made with a Minerva tin doll head on a handmade wood board baby carrier, roughly crafted and painted, trimmed with bits of birch bark. This might have been a toy or part of a costume made by a child, I think.

I can see only a bit of the doll body and arms under the burlap sacking, it's all brown painted cotton (no hands, just the cloth arms) except for the doll's head. The cotton looks very old, this is probably 1920s or even earlier. The leather carrying strap is made from a piece of old leather horse harness!
