    Description

    This is a great little pair of antique miniature beaded hide moccasins from the Plains, circa 1890 to 1910, or so. Mocs are 2" long and feature sinew sewn beads on native tanned hide uppers with rawhide soles, just like the full size moccasins. Bead colors include clear red, black, and a beautiful pony trader blue, and one moc has greasy yellow beads around the edge of the sole while the other has black beads. These are still attached together with a thin hide strip, and the beadworker made each vamp a different pattern with the same bead colors, as pictured. Condition is original and excellent with great color and patina and just the right amount of old dust accumulation. These were recently found in New England. Shipping is .00 First Class mail. There is a 30 day money back inspection period, and email for more information. Thank you.
