    Hello,
    I just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on my little pottery shoe? It is small it measures only 3.5" long. It has 2 holes I don't know what they are for. Thanks for any thoughts.

      Nice little Hopi pottery moccasin. These were popular souvenir items in the early-to-mid 1950's. They often were made as a pair, tied together, so that's probably what the holes were for. Or to hang them on a Christmas tree, or from your rear view mirror. Some have holes, some don't. But they didn't have any purpose other than a little decorative souvenir of the Southwest that you might want to hang up somewhere when you got home.

      Forgot to add that nearly every Southwest pueblo tribe that made pottery (Hopi, Acoma, Isleta, Santo Domingo, Cochiti, Santa Clara, San Juan, and even the Papago in southern Arizona) made similar little moccasins. The color of the clay with its golden/orange/yellow fireclouds is distinctive to Hopi.

      Thank you so much. I was so curious about the holes, and that makes great sense. I appreciate the information.
