Shoes

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two woven shoes, likely made from straw or grass, are shown. The shoe on the left shows the heel and is angled slightly towards the back; the one on the right shows the side. The shoes are made by tightly interweaving thin strips of material into a pattern resembling woven fabric. A light-brown cord or twine is threaded through the wove material at the top and tied to secure the shoe to the foot. The background of the image is a plain off-white surface. The shoes are the work of the artist titled "Shoes".
