Description
Measures 9.5x8" In good used condition. The aging and wear on the wood is beautiful. Bog shoes serve the same purpose as snow shoes, but in this case for muddy/marshy bogs and swamps. These were affixed to horse shoes during the 19th century. They are prized for their resemblance to that of a primitive mask given their anthropomorphic, face-like appearance. This is a spectacular example with a “face” full of emotion.
