Description
"Tanned and smoked buckskin, providing two textures of brown, are made into legging-type moccasins, fastened with a long row of brass buttons down the side of each shoe. An edging of blue beads is used around the top edge and down the side that fastens. Also along this side are two separate beaded flower designs, repeated in a floral design on the center of the instep. These soft-soled moccasins come from the Blackfoot tribe."
