Mules by unknown artist. The image shows a single vintage shoe. The shoe has a low heel and an open back. The upper part of the shoe is made from a fabric with a colorful pattern featuring various shades of blue, green, beige, and red. The fabric appears worn and frayed, especially around the edges. The shoe's sole is made of brown leather with tan stitching. The background of the image is a plain gray color.
