Pair of 1880s Plateau Embroidered Buckskin Moccasins, Buckskin Hide with Thread
About the Item
Step into history with this exquisite pair of antique beaded moccasins, attributed to the Salish (Flathead) peoples of the Plateau region, dating back to circa 1880. These rare, handcrafted moccasins are a stunning example of traditional Native American artistry, meticulously constructed from native-tanned buckskin (deer hide) and beautifully embroidered with intricate beadwork.
The vibrant design features a striking series of heart and foliate motifs, rendered in rich hues of red, pink, white, green, and purple, reflecting the cultural significance and symbolic artistry of the Salish people. Each bead was carefully stitched by hand, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship passed down through generations.
Originating from the Plateau region—which encompasses present-day Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, and British Columbia, Canada—these moccasins are a rare and collectible piece of Indigenous heritage. Their exceptional detail and historical significance make them a prized addition to any museum collection, Native American artifact collection, or Western art display.
