More Information



From a private collection. Given as a gift in or around 1925 to a Northern Minnesota Game Warden. These pretty circa 1880's, 1890s specimen's prove that while
some moccasins are not fully beaded, they have no less impact on the visual and handcrafted artwork of the Native American. 
These Sioux moccasin's are composed of tanned hide and partially beaded in a classic banded design a geometric pattern showing only a beaded border and small design across the toe and the shoes trim. 

Please note that the sole's of these moccasin's still show some of the fur remnants. There is some bead damage so please enlarge all photos.

The previous owner worked in the Northern most region of Minnesota and along the Canadian border's territory. He had many friends and contacts in those early years and acquired
a great deal of early artifacts.

Approx. size: 10" L x 3.5" W x 4" H.
