This pair of early 20th-century women's moccasins is crafted from soft buckskin and fully decorated with colorful glass beadwork. The central motif across the toe is a bold morning star design, featuring vibrant red, yellow, turquoise, and dark blue beads. Additional geometric accents in matching hues adorn the sides and collar, while a bright yellow beaded edge outlines the sole. The morning star is a powerful symbol in Plains and Prairie cultures, often representing guidance, renewal, and the dawn of a new day.
