Hide, porcupine quills, brown possibly cotton cloth, ribbon possibly faded to yellow or pink, ribbon possibly faded purple or green. Red thread

Each moccasin is made with a single piece of hide with folded over cuffs, central seam on the top and central seam at the heel. Top and heel seams have been covered with narrow band of plaited quillwork. Plaited quillwork band on the moccasin top also has a horned motif in single line technique at the centre. Plaited band at the heel seam is flanked with quilled wavy lines applied in single line technique. Cuffs have been edged with cloth and ribbon on one side, and ribbon on the other. Sewn to create a zigzag line motif. On each moccasin, the left and right side are opposite, but they correlate with the other moccasin.

Gift from the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1867.
