Hochdorf: Shoe Ornaments.

Two views of gold shoe ornaments, reconstructed.

Very thin gold foil ornaments in the form of slender strips were sewn onto the leather (not preserved) of the showes. The design is worked in repoussée in several registers. It is interesting to note that the ornaments (and presumably shoe) for the right foot were put on the left foot, and vice versa.
