Mules féminines
Description
Cette paire de mules étaient destinée à des pieds non bandés, mais il est difficile de déterminer l’ethnie de sa propriétaire initiale. Chaque chaussure se compose d’une structure en bois avec un petit talon plat, renforcée par une semelle en cuir. Le bout et l’empeigne sont constitués d’une structure en coton beige recouverte de coton bleu foncé brodé de motifs de fleurs et de papillons en fils de soie, rehaussés de quelques brillants. Une frise de grecques en fils dorés cernée d’un contour en fil de soie rouge orne l’extrémité de l’empeigne. ; L’usage du point de Pékin, technique de broderie, est identifiable par les petites boules de fils de soie qui constituent le remplissage des motifs. Il est difficile de déterminer l’origine géographique de ces mules, mais la forme semble prééminente au Vietnam.
