This pair of Cheyenne boy’s moccasins is painted in a vibrant yellow hue and features soft buckskin construction. The heels and vamp are adorned with fringe, while the cuffs are decorated with a combination of white, green, and blue glass beads. Each half-face is bordered by linear beadwork extending down to the toe, blending visual balance with cultural significance. These moccasins likely held ceremonial or formal value, demonstrating the care and tradition placed in children’s clothing.
