C.1922 Shoshone Moccasins. Thread-sewn beadwork around the sole in blue, green, and white seed beads. Decorative bands of dyed quill work, including "boxed eye" design on the instep. Separate rawhide sole construction. The creator of this pair of moccasins obviously rejected the movement toward floral designs and based their work on 19th-century beadwork. Donated by Mrs. Ethel Cutler Freeman and accessioned in 1979. Cat. No. E418478. NMNH. Suitland, MD. |
