Hard-soled beaded moccasins with cuff / Unknown

Curatorial Remarks

The heel of the moccasins resembles typical Cheyenne style with the beadwork going up the back. They were worn. The design on the toe is a unique and high unusual element. These moccasins probably had a personal meaning and have some sort of important significance.
