Sandal Three

Sandal Three

       The third specimen, figure 12, is a tightly woven, plain weave, double layered sandal. This fragment measure 16cm by 9cm. Both layers of the sandal were visible. One layer, Figure 12, was shiny as though with wear. This will be called the top of the specimen. The bottom, is well worn and encrusted with dirt. The heel portion of this sandal is missing.
       The transverse elements are continuous through the sandal. These elements cross over the frame element, turn 180 degrees and become the adjacent element.
       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. The sandal was woven as one unit and then folded over at the toe.
