content: A pair of small brown front seam moccasins made for sale by an Eastern Woodlands Native American group, possibly Kickapoo. The moccasins are quite soft and the leather may have been smoked, but they have never been worn. They are decorated with identical inverted stepped pyramids of beads with bands of green, reddish-brown, white, blue, and light purple glass beads. There is a two-flap cuff extending from the ankle of the shoe. Each flap is covered in a dark colored silk which has disintegrated leaving only the warp intact and the edges are stitched with pairs of clear beads. Each shoe has a shaped wire support inside the moccasin that protrudes out and over the back of the shoe.
