About the Item
An outstanding pair of 19th century Native American fully beaded moccasins (European women’s shoe size 36 which is equal American women’s shoe size 6).
The Moccasins are made out of animal hide (leather ) and decorated with glass beads of different colors of light and dark blue, red, coral and purple.
Moccasins shall protect the foot while allowing the person who wears them to feel the ground. The ancients took care of their feet,- the oldest shoe ever discovered is a leather moccasin dating back 5,500 years in Armenia.
A moccasin is a flexible shoe made from one to three pieces of leather and the origin of the word is known to us thanks to the French writer and traveller Marc Lescarbot, who sojourned in Acadia in 1606-1607, and said about the Algonquins:
“…ours wear shoes, which they call Mekezin, which they make very ingeniously, but cannot last long, especially when worn in damp places since the leather is not dressed, nor hardened, elk leather worked as would be a buffalo hide.”
This pair of Moccasins are in very good condition for its age and as shown on the last photo could be easily worn. A true original piece of Native American History.
