Moccasins

Gift of Mary Abbott Matejcek

The beadwork on this pair of woman’s moccasins shares similar characteristics to other Northern Plains floral patterns with simple bilateral symmetry. However, this slipper style of moccasin was often made for trade to be worn by women back East as a fashion statement.
