    Description

    Museum quality Native American SOUIX ceremonial Moccasins from the 1800's. Moccasins are the typical footwear for Native American Indians, such as the Lakota Sioux, as well as other Native groups across the United States. These have full beaded top with stiff rawhide soles that are sewn to soft buckskin uppers. Leather thongs are added for lacing. Each tribe has distinct shaping or other features to aid in identification. These feature a common Sioux design on a white beaded background. By 1830-1850 smaller beads, like the donut-shaped ones used on these pieces, known as seed beads, became common. These glass beads come in more than 80 colors and a variety of sizes. Detailed work in the smallest beads is the most prized. These are a fine example of early Sioux moccasins.
