Description

Quilled leather moccasins. Thongs added in 1999.

Context

These are strange pieces, they are of modern style commercial tanned leather, and the porcupine quilling is excellent but does not use dyed quills. The pair is probably a revival piece of some kind, but I am unsure of the prototype.
