This is a well-preserved beautiful set of beaded hide moccasins with hard parfleche soles, dating to the fourth quarter of the 19th Century from the Cheyenne Native American Indians. The moccasins are comprised of Indian tanned Great American Bison Buffalo hide sinew sewn with hard parfleche rawhide soles and tops, which are further accented with geometric beadwork patterns in 1800’s period correct glass trade seed cen beads. The beadwork shows a traditional Maltese cross-like pattern on the top of the foot, along with a checkered pattern on the outside of the bottom edge of the foot, all done in chalk white, black, greasy blue, red, semi-transparent green, and semi-transparent yellow/ amber. The beadwork is also sewn with sinew, a wonderful attribution to the sets circa 1875-1885’s age. The set shows a medium ankle with original Indian tanned hide ties and slight tapering squared original tongue. The bases of the moccasins have a thick Bison Buffalo parfleche rawhide hard sole with nice foot worn pattern from honest age and use. The set is in well-preserved museum condition, showing little-to-no bead loss and slightly stiffening but still supple hide. Provenance: From a private museum collection in the Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes region of France. Each moccasin measures approximately 10.25” L across the sole by 4 1/5” W and 4” H at the ankle. The tongue is approximateky 4 1/5” L.
