Label TextUte women combined colorful beading, painting, and fringing to create visually dynamic moccasins. The beaded elements are restrained with the inclusion of simple geometric around the border and two bands of beadwork on the vamp. The long fringe at the heels obscured the wearer’s footprints making his tracks disappear into ground as he walked.ProvenanceBob Doyle, Lake Placid, New York; Morning Star Gallery, Santa Fe, New Mexico
