Pair of Southern Cheyenne Painted and Beaded Hide High Top Moccasins

of typical construction, each beaded with panels of glass beadwork enclosing geometric motifs, trimmed with painted fringe.

Collection of Herbert G. Wellington

Typical wear for age but overall good condition. There is some staining to the hide and series of small punctures (like pin holes) to the right moc. Beadwork is clean and in very good shape on both mocs.
