A pair of vintage Iroquois moccasins and raised beadwork. The raised beadwork is unique to the Iroquois. This type of work is thick and 3 dimensional. This piece has some buckskin with mixed material like velvet and linen. It is dated 1860. It measures 10 inches in length and 4 inches wide. The artist is unknown.
We have been visiting and shopping at Toh-Atin for over twenty years. Always loved visiting with Jackson and his mother. We would spend hours gathering information on rugs, jewelry, and baskets- what a tremendous inventory. Everyone was so knowledgeable. We have so many memorable pieces. Jackson asked my husband, " How often do you get compliments on your tie?" We bought a very nice bolo! :)
We had just seen and visited with Jackson two weeks earlier and were so saddened and shocked to hear of his passing. What a loss to friends, family, and community. Our deepest condolences to his family and to the staff.
