The lot features a set of beaded Assiniboine beaded moccasins dating to the mid-to-late 20th Century. The beadwork exhibits a classic Assiniboine pattern, commonly referred to by collectors as "Buffalo Tracks" or "Bison Tracks" in a geometric pattern. The beadwork is done in pony beads in later colors with a wonderful geometric design done on a thick clothe with thick commercial black leather soles. Provenance: From the Dan Paynich Great Falls, Montana collection. The set shows little bead loss with some fraying to the edges of the clothe along with a small tear at one tongue, but overall well kept. Each measures 9.75"L sole by 4"W by 3"H ankle.
