Sioux Moccasins / 1890

A pair of hard-soled moccasins. The uppers are fully beaded with sinew-sewn seed beads and faceted metal beads. The vamps consist of geometric triangles of chalet green, navy blue, and red. Down the center are buffalo tracks along with the initials "O T O". The tongues are triangular with one having a period repair; the openings are trimmed with blue cloth.
