Early Northern Plains side-seam moccasins

(1/5) > >>

Peatreg:
Finished these up a few days ago.  Early 1800s northern plains moccasins.  Keyhole designs done with flattened and dyed porcupine quills. Center of keyhole designs is a core of horsehair wrapped with quills. Brain tanned hide with cloth, high uppers and colored with red ochre.

Welcome back Peatreg.You've been busy I see.Nice to see some of your work again.Very nice design and overall detailed work on those!!I like all the colors and am partial to that keyhole design too.A real strutting pair of mocs.Is the saw tooth cut material red trade cloth wool?Nice match red ochor color wise for that shirt.Nice touch with the ermine too.Perfect match for something I've seen in the Mystic Warriors of the Plains book I'd say.
