Leather moccasins with brown velvet cuffs trimmed with green silk and beaded in a geometric pattern. The vamp is also beaded in a geometric pattern. The inside of the cuff is lined with a red silk ribbon.
The moccasins include spot stitching.
In the Northeastern tribes, men and women would wear moccasins or boots made from animals’ hocks, or hind legs. The footwear was sometimes decorated with quillwork or embroidery. Floral and nature-inspired patterns were the most frequently used (Paterek 1994, 42-43).
