Description

Wood block cut in the form of a shoe. The last has a round toe, from which the instep slopes upward before plateauing in an elongated oval on top. Between two inscriptions on the oval top is a tube hole 7/16" in diameter. Below the top of the last's body there is a through-hole. From the top the heel curve extends to the seat. The seat sides are curved to form the waist before growing to the widest point at the last joints then tapering to form the toe. There are nail holes along one side of the seat from the toe to the waist.
