Description

A PAIR OF CROW BEADED HIDE MOCCASINS

c. 1890

of one-piece side seam construction, sinew sewn, each decorated on the vamp with a pair of horizontal bands, and with typical bands partially encircling the foot, soft soles

The side seam tailoring is atypical of Crow moccasins from this time period and might suggest a Plateau attribution. However, the distinctive Crow design scheme and color choices argue for the latter.

Provenance:
Collected in the early 1900s by A. C. Flegal in Old Miles Town, Miles Town, MT
Custer Battlefield Trading Post, Crow Agency, MT

Lengths: 10 inches each
