content: Illus. p. 124 in Bailey, Garrick A., and Daniel C. Swan. 2004. Art of the Osage. Seattle: University of Washington Press/Saint Louis Art Museum. Identified there as peyote moccasins, "... worn by participants in the Native American Church. The beaded medallions at the base of the upper flaps represent peyote buttons, symbols of religious ritual. As the wearer moves about, the rows of ... cones attached along the outside of each moccasin create the sound of rain. The yellow and green ocher colors symbolize life and rebirth, and the green represents the new grasses of spring. Lightning patterns and stylized dragonflies adorn the beaded strips on top of the moccasins. Dragonflies are associated with protection."
