Description

Wood block cut in the form of a shoe. The last has a round 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 slightly to the toe. Down the middle of the seat is a number of small wooden pegs.
