A pair of hard-sole moccasins with soft native-tanned hide uppers, stained with pigment. The moccasins are minimally decorated with sinew-sewn seed beads along the vamp, ankles and heel seam. The last is fringed. The opening is dyed with a peach-colored pigment as are the bifurcated tongue and heel fringe. The beadwork consists of simple geometric patterns within a single lazy-stitch lane: crimson/white barber pole designs; as well as alternating blue and white triangles.
