Youth size 2 Moosehide Moccasins w/beadwork on vamp; by Jack Ginnish Mi'kmaq

Description

A smaller size of soft lined moosehide moccasins made by Jack Ginnish, Mi'kmaq.  These are pucker toe style and nicely made!  They are about a youth size 2 .  They are  7.75" long, 3.5" wide at toe, cuffs are 1.5" over the top of heel.  The vamps have a nice yellow and red beaded pattern and the inner edge of the vamp has a red and yellow beaded outer border.
Lining is felted wool.  The moose hide is so soft and pliable.  These will be a joy to wear.  - Look great too.
These are signed "J Ginnish" on inside of the inner cuff of the right moccasin.  (Lift cuff to see) - Dated too.... and say "Size 2"
After losing contact with Jack for a few years, in a recent visit I was able to get some of his current moosehide items.  There are a few more medicine bags, 3 pairs of moccasins and some tiny moccasin pairs that are decorative as well as this moose rawhide shield.  Moosehide shields are items I had previously gotten from Jack and they are quite unique and difficult to find.
MicMac/Mi'kmaq (USA spelling/Canadian spelling) are a tribe that has dual citizenship by virtue of their tribal rights.  Jack Ginnish resides in Big River, New Brunswick, Canada and Belfast, Maine, USA.  Last 2 photos of slide show are of Jack defleshing/dehairing a moose hide and of him in his competitive traditional dance regalia.  -  Note that he wears a small deerhide medicine pouch with his traditional dance regalia in that photo.
