Sandals

Sandals

Pair of fiber sandals. Long narrow soles hand woven from sisal-like fiber; fibers on the back half are heavier. The uppers are made from white paper bound string. The front portion is made up of strands which extend from the sole to a cord that runs around the top of the sandal. On each side are three thicker paper covered cords which attach to the front section and a stiffened paper covered cord that goes around the back of the ankle. At the very back is a woven column that holds the back sole to the ankle strap.
