Sandals

MOA: University of British Columbia

3660/30 a-b

Pair of leather sandals with an embroidered green pattern covering much of the foot bed. The upper part of each sandal is made mainly of brown leather, with dyed parts used for the design. The wide strap is green on top, brown underneath. The fine, detailed linear design is made by very thin strips of green leather being woven through the leather of the foot bed. Parts of the upper sandal are also dyed black, along with the edges. The sole of each sandal has a softer piece of beige cow skin attached, that still has some brown hair at the centre.
