One of a Kind!

Cheyenne-style antique moccasins feature durable rawhide soles and soft, brain-tanned deer or bison hide uppers. Artisans sew them with sinew, creating strong, long-lasting footwear. Intricate beadwork, often made with Venetian glass beads, decorates many pairs, reflecting traditional Cheyenne designs. Geometric patterns and symbolic elements enhance their cultural significance.
