The set includes:

  • Matching Beaded Boots (Leg Wraps): A pair of high-top leg coverings featuring vibrant purple sequins, green and gold beadwork, and central butterfly motifs. They are finished with matching purple feathers and functional zippers for display or wear.

  • Matching Butterfly Patch: A large, coordinating shield-style patch featuring a central butterfly with faceted clear "jewel" accents and spiral scrollwork.

The butterfly is a powerful symbol in the Black Masking tradition, and the purple, green, and gold palette pays homage to classic Mardi Gras colors. This is a museum-quality grouping of contemporary African American folk art, representing hundreds of hours of meticulous hand-sewing.
