Late 19th/early 20th century
Each hide moccasin with geometric motifs in blue, white, green and red beads to front and side edges, 2 pieces

Each in overall fair to good condition with dust accumulation and wear commensurate with age and use. Scattered areas of bead loss. Scattered small stains and soiling to the leather, with stiffening to the hide overall. Distortion to the overall shape, with gaps to seams at toes and heels, as well as a hole in one heel. Condition reports are offered as a courtesy and are typically published in Moran's catalogue or can be made available upon request. The absence of a condition report does not imply that an item is free from defects or restoration, nor does a reference to particular defects imply the absence of others. Buyers are responsible for determining to their own satisfaction the true nature and condition of any lot prior to bidding. Though buyers are not legally required to inspect lots prior to purchase, failure to do so may constitute a waiver of complaint that an item was not delivered in a condition equal to the existent condition at the auction.
