Pair of Child's Mocassins c. 1885

This pair of child's moccasins, crafted by the Sioux people around 1885, are a beautiful example of Native American beadwork. The moccasins are made of leather and decorated with intricate patterns of white, blue, and red beads. The delicate designs and use of traditional materials showcase the craftsmanship and cultural heritage of the Sioux people. The moccasins are currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago and serve as a poignant reminder of the rich artistic traditions of indigenous cultures.
