Each moccasin is worked in tiny glass seed beads on native‑tanned hide with rawhide soles, featuring large central diamonds in blue, green, and yellow on a white field, flanked by smaller stepped diamond motifs and multicolored triangular panels at the toes and sides. Narrow white beaded lanes run up the heels, and the soft uppers retain their original ochre‑toned surface and hide ties; black cloth stuffing presently supports the forms for display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterials are native‑tanned hide, glass seed beads, sinew stitching and rawhide soles\u003cbr\u003eCheyenne moccasins of this period are admired for their densely beaded white grounds and bold diamond designs, which stand out strongly in both ethnographic and Western interiors. Pairs with good age, full bead coverage, and charitable‑sale provenance make strong “crossover” pieces for collectors of Native American art, Western material, and historic textiles.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions Lengths: 9 3\/4 in (each)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvenance Centers for Public Interest Law, the University of San Diego.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition  Overall very good condition for age and use.
