Item Details
Description
Native American, Southwestern United States, Anasazi (Ancestral Puebloan), ca. 1200 to 1350 CE. A set of 2 hand-built sandals, 1 woven from thick yucca plant fronds and the other woven from strips of mud-bound plant fibers. The fine interlacing exemplified here demonstrates the Anasazi weavers' skills as textile artists. A rare glimpse into ancient footwear that has been remarkably well preserved. Shoes not only protected the feet but also acted as status symbols. Size (largest sandal): 9.75" L x 4.2" W (24.8 cm x 10.7 cm); (display frame): 1.4" L x 8.4" W x 12.5" H (3.6 cm x 21.3 cm x 31.8 cm)
