The set is believed to be from circa 1870-1900.The set has an excellent hand embroidered sewn geometric design on Indian tanned and dyed hide. The moccasins have red to dark red or black ocher dye. These have some of the finest Indian sewn geometric designs seen on moccasins. Each measures 9.5"L sole and 14"H. The set is believed to have been made after an Indian warrior saw a set of cowboy's fancy sewn boots and tried to recreated the style.
