Chilkat Face High-Top Moccasins, 2021
Jelth K'aan, Debbie McLavey
Haida, Tseeth Janáas, Double-Headed Eagle

These moccasins are made of moose leather and seal skin, and trimmed with sea otter fur. The uppers are lined with abalone buttons. Copper cones are attached to the fringe along the bottom border of each Chilkat face to produce a distinctive sound as the wearer moves.
"I wove the Chilkat face starting as a project with Evelyn Vanderhoop. Then I decided to create the high-tops for my partner Percy Frisby."
