Early 1900s, Striking pair of sinew sewn and lazy stitch beaded and quilled hard soled moccasins done in a bright "Fort Berthold pink" color. Very good condition, minor quill/bead loss or damage in some spots. * 10"

*This piece is from the collection of an attorney from Wolf Point, Montana, who often took beaded items for payment. He left Wolf Point in 1935 and took the collection with him to California where it has been in storage (and occasionally on loan) since that time.
