Cree Moccasins / 1870

A pair of soft-soled moccasins constructed from native-tanned buffalo hide and decorated on the vamps with red stroud. The tongues feature an abstract floral motif of blue, yellow, pink, and black outlined in white seed beads. Alternating lanes of dark and light blue flow to the toes, whereby alternating triangles trim the perimeter. Red stroud decorates the cuffs.

10" long
