Description

Scope and content : Quilted cloth shoe with a string sole. The uppers were cut in two pieces, joining in a raised seam in the middle of heel and toe. The fabric used is made of several layers of canvas-like material which were quilted together. The quilting itself was done in plain horizontal lines of stitching which creates a ribbed effect. At the back of the heel, a small canvas pocket has been sewn on. The sole of the shoe, which is worn through at the heel, was made of a wooven string. The decoration on the front of the shoe consists of an embroidery depicting volutes, fleur-de-lis and palmettes.
