Shoes for Women

Ewha Womans University Museum

Ewha Womans University Museum
Seoul, South Korea

Red floral-patterned silk fabric was used for the outer rims, and green silk was used for the vine pattern and the top and lower sides of the outer rims. The tip of the toe was decorated by two lines and the heel was finished with white leather. The unusually pointy vine pattern on the heel makes this pair stand out from common danghye. The front and back of the soles were nailed.
