Description

Wood block cut in the form of a shoe. The shoe last has a pointed toe, from which the height of the last increases toward the instep, and then plateaus. There is no through-hole below the top of the last. From the top the heel curve extends 2 5/16" to the seat. The seat's sides curve only slightly at the waist and then widens to the joint before tapering to the toe. The sole has numerous nail holes which are concentrated along the outline of the sides and in between the two sides of the waist.
