Shoe, flat, with front leaf and heel of incised - pale yellow faded - velvet and with bovine leather sole with a die-cut geometric decoration, strap fastening on the instep, from incised - to light yellow pale - originally apple green velvet with cow leather sole. The model consists of a front cover, two equal heel pieces or 'quarters' and a sole. The front sheet, high up on the rove, is decorated with 63 horizontal incisions bordered with festival stitches. The nose is unadorned and somewhat blunt. The heel is divided into eight equal parts by means of six long, vertical, shaped incisions. Two narrow, quarter-extended quarters run from the heel piece and end in a funded, round opening. In the middle of the instep there are two identical, rounded openings, which are closed on top of the instep by means of a (here missing) lace. The shoes are lined with a plain light yellow silk fabric. On the inside, a remnant of the original velvet color is visible in the side seams. The leather sole, which extends to the nose, is provided with a die-cut geometric ornament with lines and points. The sole is attached to the shoe with rough stitches., anonymous, Northern Netherlands, c. 1550 - c. 1574, voorblad en hiel, zool, die cutting, l 25 cm w 7.5 cm × h 8 cm
