This is a fabulous set of authentic original Cree Native American Indian floral beaded moccasins from circa early 1900. The set shows an Indian tanned hide construction with wonderful typical Cree moccasins design having a mid-height ankle having an Indian tanned hide piped edge and wider foot area. The bases show well worn Parfleche with the proper patina'd foot pattern from use and sweat. The tops shows a floral beaded design all in glass trade seed bead work of Cheyenne pink, corn yellow, semi-transparent pink, red, and iridescent white. The beadwork is in a fantastic blossoming mature rose design, a true delight. The set is in overall good condition with some bead loss and a wonderful original patina. The soles are each 10.5" in length by 3" high ankle by 4 5/8" wide.
