Child's beaded semi-tanned leather moccasins with geometric designs / Unknown
Essay/Description
Child's semi-tanned leather moccasins with fully beaded uppers with a white background.
Curatorial Remarks
Actually meant to be worn by a child. the opening of the moccasins helps identify the actual use for children. the larger opening was so that the baby could get their little fat foot in, as opposed to small moccasins made for dolls that had smaller openings.
