Slippers

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a gold-colored flat shoe. The shoe is pointed and has a low heel. The heel is thicker at the base and tapers to a thinner piece that connects to the sole. The main part of the shoe is gold-colored and appears to be made of fabric or leather. The upper part of the shoe inside is white, and there is a black trim around the edge. There are decorative brown swirls and flowers on the side and toe of the shoe. The shoe appears to be old and worn, with frayed edges and a deteriorated appearance. The background of the image is gray. The title of the image is "Slippers".
