PICKERING 6-27-2000 Anthropology Conservation Lab records identify this as a sandal-shaped object with predominantly yellow beadwork, some rose, blue and green. It appears to be a Niagara Falls-style souvenir beadwork object, and may be a wall hanging/wall holder of some kind, perhaps a whisk broom holder? See pp. 18-19 in Elliott, Dolores N. 2002. Flights of fancy: an introduction to Iroquois beadwork. Johnson City, NY: Iroquois Studies Association. These types of objects are sometimes called "whimsies." This object may be from the Romeyn B. Hough collection, Accession No. 4245? - F. Pickering 4-13-2009
