Northern Plains Crow Indian Native American Beaded Moccasins Parfleche Sole
Item History & Price
Offered is a beautiful pair of partially beaded Northern Plains (Crow) Moccasins. This design with geometric shapes is common among the Northern Plains tribes along with the hard (parfleche) sole. These date sometime in the second half of the 20th Century and came from an Iowa collector, who identified them as Crow made. They measure 9 1/2" in length (about a woman's size 7). It looks they have some sinew stitching along heels but most of the sewing appears to be w...ith thread. Very good condition. Some discoloration on parfleche sole. There are two or three tiny rows of beads missing on toe of the left moccasin and one strand is lifted and knotted up near cuff.A few pinholes in leather and stitching is pulling a bit between sole and base but not undone. Please see pictures. Important Information for all Items:* We will gladly combine orders to save you on shipping charges. Please email for a combined invoice before paying.
