Left shoe of leather with horned toe and slashed vamp, London, ca. 1520-1540. Left shoe of leather with horned or eared toe, possibly for a man. The vamp is decorated with three vertical slits in the centre and with three slanted horizontal slashes on each side. The shoe has lost is outer sole and welt, but still has its heel-stiffener which is an extra piece of leather reinforcing the back quarters. There is no seam at centre back; the quarters are in one piece with seams at each side. It is possible that the shoe was once edged with a leather strip around the back opening. The toe area of the shoe is reinforced by an extra piece of leather, keeping the horns of the toes stiffened. There is wear and tear along the right upper at the big toe and splits at the centre back of the quarters from the sole and upward. A second thread keeps parts of shoe together. Tanned leather, modern thread.
