Shoes

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black leather item with slashes and orange numbers. The item appears to be made of black leather and has been cut into a shape resembling a shoe or boot part. It features multiple slashes across its surface, arranged in a crisscross pattern. The slashes are long and thin, with some being more prominent than others. In the top-right corner, there are orange numbers printed vertically. The item is placed on a white foam-like material, which provides a textured background. The foam material appears to be a packaging material, possibly used for protection or storage. The overall appearance suggests that the item is a piece of footwear, specifically a part of a shoe or boot, possibly for a historical or theatrical purpose, by artist named Shoes.
