Circa 1880 Southern Cheyenne Beaded Moccasins, Native American, Hide
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 beads in vibrant hues of light blue, yellow, red, dark blue, and white.
The beadwork features bold geometric patterns and symbolic Tipi motifs, which reflect the cultural and spiritual traditions of the Southern Cheyenne people. The scalloped cuffs add an elegant, decorative element, enhancing the moccasins’ already striking visual appeal. Every bead is meticulously hand-sewn, showcasing the artistry and technical skill passed down through generations.
Highly collectible and historically significant, this pair represents both functional 19th-century Indigenous footwear and an enduring expression of Cheyenne cultural identity. Ideal for collectors of Native American artifacts, Western Americana, or ethnographic textiles, these moccasins are also museum-worthy pieces of Indigenous Plains heritage.
