The lot features a beautiful set of beaded Indian hide large men’s moccasins with hard soles from the Northern Cheyenne of Spotted Horse, Wyoming. The back of one of the moccasins is an old collection tags that is marked, “Northern Cheyenne Wyoming / Cheyenne Spotted Horse.” The large set exhibits Indian tanned Buffalo / Bison hide construction that is sinew sewn with thick parfleche rawhide Buffalo / Bison hard sole bases. The tops are covered in a classic Northern Plains geometric pattern with stepped whimsical design done in older period glass trade seed beads that are also sinew sewn. The set is well kept and likely preserved or refurbished showing little to no bead loss. The back of each moccasin has two small Indian tanned hide fringes. The period beads show colors of chalk white, red white heart, light green, light blue / lilac, cobalt, and greasy butterscotch. Similar sets of moccasins are documented in photographs of other Cheyenne and Northern Cheyenne members from the 19th Century. The tops have a yellow dyed finish and the bottoms are stained dark brown. Provenance: From a large Native American weapons and beadwork collection in California. Soles measure 11.25-inches long by 4.25-inches wide by 5-inches high.
