Pocahontas (Rebecca) 1596 – 1617 Painted Carved Portrait

I'm selling a Pocahontas (Rebecca) 1596 – 1617 Painted Carved Portrait. I'm not sure of the material, but it's heavy like stone.

Pocahontas also known as Matoaka and Rebecca Rolfe; was a Native American woman belonging to the Powhatan people, notable for her association with the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. She was the daughter of Wahunsenacawh, the paramount chief of a network of tributary tribes in the Tsenacommacah (known in English as the Powhatan Confederacy), encompassing the Tidewater region of what is today the U.S. state of Virginia.

Pocahontas was captured and held for ransom by English colonists during hostilities in 1613. During her captivity, she was encouraged to convert to Christianity and was baptized under the name Rebecca. She married the tobacco planter John Rolfe in April 1614 at the age of about 17 or 18, and she bore their son, Thomas Rolfe, in January 1615.
