Shoe (Chopine)
1590-1610 Italy
Silk, metal
“While this single chopine is very typical of the form in design and decoration, the blue color is less commonly seen than red or green. An additional feature of note also found on many other surviving examples is the leather sock lining with incised pattern of concentric squares.”
