Delaware Beaded Moccasins

These are a very attractive pair of soft-soled Delaware moccasins. The vamp is fully beaded with a yellow leaf form outlined in cobalt blue and pink on a deep water blue field. The silk ankle flap is purple silk with a ½" kelly green silk border along the lower edge. A decorative design in pink beads covers the intersection of the two silk colors and white beads are interspersed in pairs along the outer edge of the ankle flap. The moccasins were never worn but moths found the purple silk along one side of one of the moccasins.
