Last, Shoe
Shoe last, North Family, Mount Lebanon, NY
Description
Wood block cut in the form of a shoe. The last has an almond-shaped toe, from which the last then continues at a sloping angle toward the top, where it plateaus into an elongated oval. Below the top there is a though-hole. From the top, the heel curve extends toward the seat. The seat's sides are curved to form the waist and then widen to the joint before tapering to the toe.
