A single infant-sized slipper constructed in the tradition of indigenous peoples of the North American Subarctic or Arctic regions. The footwear is crafted from light blue-dyed leather with an off-white leather vamp. The ankle opening is trimmed with a collar of long, white animal fur, likely rabbit or fox. The vamp features hand-applied seed bead embroidery in shades of blue, purple, and silver, arranged in a loose radial or floral motif. Hand-stitching is visible along the sole and the decorative piping surrounding the toe box. The construction utilizes traditional hide-working and beadwork techniques consistent with Canadian Aboriginal or Native American craftsmanship.
