    Again from same box. Brain tanned, hard sole moccasins. Very small seed beads, in early colors. I associate those pink beads with Crow work, but I would be interested in other opinions on possible tribal affiliation.

    Thanks again.

    this Ebay pair states Crow..... and has the beading on the back.

    but the description says Sioux.......... so...

    many Plains tribes used the design in one way or another....

    I'd date yours to circa 1920's ...... but I could be off a little ...

    I plan to humidify them and straighten them out. I will be able to get better photos then.
    Thanks.

    It might be doing an image search in the MMA archives. They have a big royalty-free section with all sorts of things, and if you can find a match you can download the image.
