$700.00 

Pair of beaded Native American moccasins. These came with an attached label reading "Very rare Crow Moccasins from Montana in beautiful condition with olive coloring, circa 1860". Although this date may be correct, we find that many Native American artifacts are estimated as older than they are. The beads are in geometric patterns of green, pink, white, dark blue and yellow. In very good condition, although with slight soiling that indicates they were once worn. RL*
