Pair of Child's Moccasins c. 1885

This pair of child's moccasins, created by the Sioux people around 1885, is a beautiful example of Native American beadwork. The moccasins are crafted from leather and adorned with intricate patterns of colorful glass beads. The patterns on these moccasins are unique and demonstrate the artistic skill and cultural expression of the Sioux people. Now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, these moccasins serve as a reminder of the rich history and craftsmanship of Indigenous cultures.
