Description
These moccasins are from my mother's estate. My family lived in SE Alaska for most of the 1960's, and these almost certainly date from this period of time. I am not an expert on Tlingit artwork, but these are decorated with beads in what I am pretty sure is a simplified bear's face, typified by the round ears and the red mouth.The beads are sewn onto an aquamarine felt, and the insides are lined with a very pale yellow felt. Rabbit fur trim surrounds the foot opening. The body and sole of these is a soft brown leather. It is thin and shows light wear on the bottom.
UPDATE: My wife (very carefully) tried one on and says they are probably a women's size 7 to 8. See added photos.
