This is a wonderful original set of Sioux Native American Indian beaded moccasins from circa late 19th century. The moccasins show an Indian tanned hide construction having a yellow mineral ocher wash throughout and all sinew sewn. The tops show excellent early original glass trade seed beadwork in chalk white, greasy yellow, sky blue, semi-transparent red, black, semi-transparent dark blue faceted, semi-transparent dark green. The moccasins have a thick Buffalo parfleche rawhide sole showing the correct patina and age. The moccasins show some bead loss and slight separation of the sole at the toe, but overall are in fine condition for their age. The museum quality moccasins measure10"L x 4"H. Provenance: From a very large extensive Native American Indian & Old West antique collection in Billings, Montana.
