About this work

Lady's shoe of gold morocco leather with ankle strap bordered with gold thread. Model: Rounded pointed toe, one vamp and two side pieces. Over the seam where the two side pieces meet at the heel a band of gold morocco leather. The cut of the vamp extends to halfway up the instep. The side pieces stand at right angles to the vamp. On the right side piece an ankle strap is attached. On the left side piece, via a metal eyelet, a beige changeant button with a metallic button in the center is attached. The front of the heel runs straight down in a rounded corner. The side and back of the heel slope inwards so that the heel becomes narrower towards the bottom. The heel is covered with gold morocco leather. Leather backstay nailed to the heel with three nails and leather sole. Side pieces lined with brown leather. Vamp lined with ivory-colored linen. The insole is of brown leather. Decoration: Diagonally across the forefoot a double band of braided gold thread.
