Sandal Four

Sandal Four

       Specimen four (D.U. 397) has a rounded toe. (figure 13) It is plain woven, closed weave, double layered sandal. This specimen is 26cm by 11.5cm. The transverse elements are continuous. After crossing the frame element they turn back to become the adjacent element. The pattern is identical to specimen one and two. The longitudinal elements are not continuous. Each longitudinal element is a separate unit. The elements run parallel to each other to the toe end of the sandal where they loop over to form the longitudinal elements in the lower layer. Between the two layers there is shredded vegetable fibers which served as padding.
