Aboriginal Adult Male Painted Doll
Painted Aboriginal adult male doll wearing a red loin cloth. There is a pattern painted on the dolls torso, arms, legs and face. The doll is wearing a red loin cloth and is wearing a red headband.
Allegedly, the painted pattern on the doll is meant to depict Yagan or Midgegooroo. However, we are unsure which pattern depicts which man.
