This is an outstanding set of circa 1870 beaded and painted Indian hide and hard soled medium height moccasins from the Ute Native American Indians. The set is comprised of thick Buffalo Bison Indian tanned hide with a yellow mineral pigment ocher painted finish with thick Buffalo Bison parfleche rawhide hard soles. The tops, sides and back of the moccasins are covered in period correct 19th Century glass trade seed beads in a traditional geometric pattern. The entire set is sinew sewn. The beadwork includes colors of greasy blue, chalk white, cobalt and semi-transparent rose. The moccasins have a medium height ankle with tall tongue and original tie straps. The set has been well preserved with little to no bead loss, supple hide tops and no major damage (the inside of the right foot has some slight opening of the seam, but is still intact and sewn). Provenance: From the renowned Sundog Fine Art Bozeman, Montana collection by Bruce VanLandingham. Bruce VanLandingham was a pillar in the American Indian collecting community and a respected expert. Along with being an avid collector, Bruce was also the sole owner of Sundog Fine Art Gallery in Bozeman, which was both part museum and gallery, this piece is directly from the collection. The ball shows little bead loss and overall displays well. Ute beadwork from the Indian Wars era of circa 1870 is increasingly rare with moccasins being more scarce making these truly one of the best sets available in the sale. Each measures 9 5/8"L by 3.5"W by 5.5"H. Museum collection number E1056.
