Essay/Description

Pair of boots with soft soles and a fringe top. Buckskin red, white, and blue beading. Single row of brass studs or clinkers.

Curatorial Remarks

"The moccasins were re-soled later with commercial leather. This can be identified via the stitching, original soutcher and later stitching."

Dr. Garrick Bailey, Professor of Anthropology for The University of Tulsa, 2018
