Description: Excellent Native American Cheyenne Sinew Sewn Floral Motif Beaded Moccasins, circa 1920s. Recently acquired from the Outstanding Lifetime Artifacts Collection of Dr. Constantine Zariphes, Jr. of Rocky Hill, Connecticut.A lovely pair of moccasins with an unusual floral motif. In excellent condition, not a bead loose or out of place. Original laces. About 9.75” long. The auction catalog pictured showing provenance and this pair of moccasins’ photograph and listing (lot #196) is included. We believe these moccasins were erroneously attributed to Great Lakes area natives, catalog should have said Cheyenne, probably Oklahoma.Dr. Zariphes, Jr. began collecting Native American artifacts as a boy of seven, eventually serving as President of the Connecticut Archaeological Society for four years and was lauded by this society for twenty-five years of dedicated service. He passed away this past August at the ripe age of 92, and this nice stone bird pipe was one of the items I won at the first of several auctions of this important collection.
