Squanto - Thanksgiving

$889.00

Condition: Pristine

Squanto from the Simpich Thanksgiving series, holding the gift his story is remembered for: two ears of corn, one gold and one deep red, still in their husks.

Squanto (Tisquantum) was a Patuxet man who had been taken across the ocean to Europe and made his way back, only to find his village gone. Because of that journey he spoke English when he met the Plymouth colonists in 1621. He showed them how to plant corn in this new ground, and that harvest is the one the first Thanksgiving gave thanks for.

Look closely at the details. He has deep lines across his brow and chin, a topknot with a beaded strand and a single feather, a bead earring, and a black-and-white bead necklace tied with leather. A full gray fur drape runs from his shoulder to below his knee. His suede tunic ends in a fringed hem with stitched detail, and his leggings are laced up the side and tied at the knee. He stands in sculpted moccasins on a wooden base.

He was cast from the original sculpt, then hand-painted and dressed in hand-sewn clothing in the Simpich doll shop. No more are being made.

Set him beside the rest of the Thanksgiving series, or let him start your own tradition, adding one piece of the story each year.
