Sandal Nine

Sandal Nine

       Sandal nine, figure 18, is 25 cm in length, 11 cm wide and 3cm thick and is woven over a three element edge frame. The elements forming the structure are woven over the edge frame in a criss-cross manner. The frame elements converge toward the heel and toe to form a crescent shaped toe and fishtail shaped heel. The fishtail effect of the heel is formed from the convergence of the frame elements which have become shredded. The transverse elements (there are no longitudinal elements except for the frame element.) cross over the right lateral edge turn 180 degrees loop around and under the right frame element. The element continues to the left lateral edge where it is looped under the frame element and across the top. This criss-cross pattern continues the length of the sandal. Possible attachment structures remain at the toe end of the sandal.
