Sandals
These are a pair of women’s sandals made out of thick wooden blocks with a leather strap. The strap is hemmed with blue material. On both sides the sandals have been intricately carved with geometric designs and flower motifs. On the soles of the sandals, anchors have been carved into the wood.
As the object has been re-accessioned, the donor and provenance is unknown. However, a suggested date of 20th Century may be proposed. It is possible that these intricately carved sandals, with a slight novelty factor may have been made for the western market, however that is speculation.
