These dolls were carved out of white pine wood by renowned Cherokee carver Goingback Chiltoskey (1907-2000), also known as Going Back Chiltoskie and G. B. Chiltosky. The female doll has a papoose on her back. The male doll wears leather leg coverings and moccasins. Both dolls are decorated with some beading. The dolls were given to the Southern Highland Handicraft Guild by Allen Eaton.
