content: From card: "These are evidently the parts which were meant to be sewn into a pair of moccasins. There are two triangular toe pieces and two long strips which were probably for the sides around the back or heel area. The base material is a subdued green felt with tufted embroidery in colored porcupine quills, in floral designs. Lorette Indians (is listed for people). Though this identification did not occur in the catalog it was found marked on the specimens. (1972 - R. Elder.) There has been a minor amount of moth damage to the felt." This appears to be moose hair embroidery (not porcupine quillwork) on felt. - F. Pickering 12-7-2007
