6.75" h x 5" w measured without tassels. Double duty. These pretty boots served as pin cushions or match holders. This one is in superb condition, I could say mint were it not for some moth damage here & there. Not nearly as prominent in reality as conveyed in my photos. The pink cotton is as bright as the day it was beaded over 115 years ago. The same goes for the pristine polished cotton backing. Nothing missing, all beads intact. It was probably stored in a box all these years. Please see Phillips p 229 for similar....Please enlarge my photos for a closer look....To view MORE IROQUOIS BEADWORK I have listed, just click on the "VIEW THIS DEALER'S OTHER ITEMS" button on the left, then type the words in the search box....Canadians will pay applicable taxes.....
