Sandal Eleven


Sandal Eleven

       Sandal eleven, figure 20, is made of hide and is not an interworked structure. This specimen is cm by cm. and was attached to the foot by means of a single leather element which passed through perforations that formed gathers when pulled tight. The last perforation, through which the element passed, was located at the heel end of the structure at each lateral edge. The leather element was then pulled back parallel to each edge, approximately cm where it passed under itself and across the foot where it was pulled tight and tied to the opposite end of the element.
