About the Item
This exceptional pair of 19th-century Southern Cheyenne beaded moccasins, circa 1880, is a rare and authentic example of Plains Native American craftsmanship. Handcrafted from soft, native-tanned hide—likely deer or buffalo—these moccasins are richly decorated with intricate glass trade beadwork in vibrant shades of light blue, yellow, red, dark blue, and white.
The beadwork features bold geometric patterns alongside symbolic Tipi motifs, reflecting the spiritual beliefs, cultural heritage, and artistic traditions of the Southern Cheyenne people. Scalloped cuffs add an elegant, decorative flourish, enhancing the moccasins’ visual impact. Each bead is meticulously hand-sewn, demonstrating the artistry and technical skill preserved through generations of Indigenous artisans.
Historically significant and highly collectible, this pair represents both functional 19th-century Plains footwear and a profound expression of Cheyenne cultural identity. Ideal for collectors of Native American artifacts, Western Americana, or ethnographic textiles, these moccasins are museum-quality examples of Plains Indian heritage and craftsmanship.
