A pair of vintage Sioux burial moccasins. These moccasins have blue white, red and yellow beads. There is beadwork underneath the shoes that indicate that these are for burial purposes. The buckskin has some fading from age. It has tag that dates this piece, 1890. It measures 7 inches in length and 3 inches wide. The artist is unknown.
We have been visiting and shopping at Toh-Atin for over twenty years. Always loved visiting with Jackson and his mother. We would spend hours gathering information on rugs, jewelry, and baskets- what a tremendous inventory. Everyone was so knowledgeable. We have so many memorable pieces. Jackson asked my husband, " How often do you get compliments on your tie?" We bought a very nice bolo! :)
We had just seen and visited with Jackson two weeks earlier and were so saddened and shocked to hear of his passing. What a loss to friends, family, and community. Our deepest condolences to his family and to the staff.
