Pair of Ute Moccasins
Unusual bead decorated moccasins with large trade concho adorned tongue flap. As found patina in good condition but with some tin cone and minor bead losses. Also had small metal stud adornments that are now missing but ghost impressions appear on the hide. These are a possibly unique example that would present very well in any encyclopedic moccasin collection. Normal Native wear and use as expected.
