common red stroud; smoked deer or caribou hide; silk embroidery floss in blue, cream, black and green; blue silk; red paint or ochre.

The moccasins are an unusual style with a pointed toe gathered onto the front flap, a vertical seam heel dart and attached side flaps for thongs. The inset vamp is covered with red stroud and decorated with a blue silk frame and embroidered with flowers and leaves. There are no cuffs, but there are two hide self tabs at ankles with holes for threading ties.

Flower and leaf motifs.

An attached typewritten label reads 'Woodland area, early 19th century, Canada.'

There is an inscription on the sole, very nearly illegible, which may read "Mr Arnott" or "Hunter."
