This is a fine fully top beaded set of moccasins from the Blackfoot Native American Indians of Montana and dating to circa 1890-1900’s. The moccasins show a thicker desirable Buffalo Indian tanned hide construction with parfleche rawhide soles. The pair exhibits the correct signs of age and use along with various early native repairs to each that is indicative of its early age. The set shows a wonderful glass trade seed beaded design with three alternating directional hearts and double ended arrows in red and semi-transparent dark blue with a chalk white background and semi-transparent dark green and red border. The ankle show an interesting and unique fringe cut borders, a nice addition to the overall artful appeal of the set. These Blackfeet beaded moccasins are from the former collection of Tom Hardy and measure 9.75”L x 4.25”W.
