Plains Indian Beaded Moccasins - Vintage & Beautiful!

Description

Presented today is this vintage Plains Indian Beaded Moccasins. They come from an estate of a dear, departed friend who was a respected lecturer, teacher and museum curator. She was part Cheyenne, and lectured and demonstrated extensively on Plains Indian cultures. Also, in the 1960's, she
traveled the northern plains on the Pow Wow circuit, participating in dances, either singly or with a dance troupe. i believe this pair of moccasins date from that time. The beadwork is in mostly excellent condition, with some very minor bead loss. The soles show considerable wear, with some broken thread where the soles join the the moccasin, evidence of being worn and danced in. They seem to be a size 8 (i was barely able to squeeze into them). They measure 10 inches in length. Overall, they are in good condition, and actually can be safely worn.  Bid with confidence, for as you all know, if the winner is unsatisfied for ANY reason i will immediately return the full purchase price, including return shipping. This belt would look great in your beadwork collection. Many Thanks for your kind consideration, and as always Best Regards, Mary
