Boot-shaped wall-pocket, or pouch. The boot part is made of a double layer of birch bark, whip-stitched around the edges with thick black thread. There is an arched band attached at the top creating the pocket. Faded floral quillwork designs cover most of the front face and the band. Some quills dyed yellow and green, but most are off-white. (A few parts of the quillwork are missing.) The back is plain birch bark.
