Shoe, flat, with vamp and heel of cut - faded to light yellow - velvet, provided with a leather sole with a stamped geometric decoration, strap fastening on the instep

Shoe, flat, of incised—faded to light yellow—originally apple-green velvet with a leather sole. The model consists of a vamp, two equal heel pieces or 'quarters', and a sole. The vamp, which ends high on the instep, is decorated with 63 horizontal incisions bordered with blanket stitch. The toe is undecorated and somewhat blunt. The heel is divided into eight equal parts by six long, vertical, blanket-stitched incisions. From the heel piece extend two narrow quarters, extended into straps, ending in a blanket-stitched, round opening. In the center of the instep are two identical blanket-stitched round openings, which, together with the loose straps, are fastened on top of the instep by a lace (missing here). The shoes are lined with a plain light-yellow silk fabric. On the inside, a remnant of the original velvet color is still visible in the side seams. The leather sole, which widens toward the toe, is provided with a stamped geometric decoration of lines and dots.
