Description

Pair of bound-foot shoes. Shoes have a wedge heel and are roughly triangular in shape, narrowing to a point in the toe. Fabric extends up the heel and ankle, around the sides and toe of the shoe, but is open along the top of the foot and ankle. Fabric used on the heel and foot is light green, trimmed with red, and covered with intricate, multicoloured floral embroidery. Fabric up the back of the ankle is a lilac floral brocade with wide bands of black cloth sewn around the top. A wide loop of red shoelace is sewn on either side of the ankle fabric.
