Description:
These tiny moccasins were likely used for only a short time before the baby outgrew them. However, this did not prevent the mother from decorating the tops with colorful quillwork and detailing the cuffs with lines of quillwork and a silk ribbon border with beaded edging. Mothers often wanted their children’s first clothing to be among their finest.
