Last, Shoe

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. The end of the top which joins the heel curve has a repair in leather. Below the top there are two though-holes side-by-side. From the top, the heel curve extends toward the seat. In the middle of the heel curve there is a vertical metal staple. The seat's sides are curved to form the waist and then widen to the joint before tapering to the toe.
