A pair of men's mules with uppers of white leather, covered with white ribbed silk, brocaded with silver and silver-gilt thread. The sole is made of brown leather; the heels are wood in a square shape, covered with red leather. The insole is made of pink silk taffeta. A strip of woven lace (braid) in silver-gilt thread is sewn across the edge of the upper. This is not stitched into the seam joining sole and upper, so may be a later addition, within the life of the original wearer.
