Moccasins

$100.00

Porcupine quills are plentiful, sharp and bendable. What better resource to use for art? This pair of leather children's moccasins features intricate quillwork on the vamp. These were more than just footwear...they were creative art. We don't have a specific age on these, but we know that they were made after Europeans came to the area. The beaded borders reflect a European influence. Many of us had mittens knitted by grandma. Can you image your grandmother presenting you with this labor of love?
