Picture of the day

A pair of lotus shoes, which are shoes that were worn by women in China who had bound feet. They were delicately constructed from cotton or silk, and small enough to fit in the palm of a hand. They are cone or sheath-shaped, intended to resemble a lotus bud. Though foot binding is no longer practiced, many lotus shoes survive as artifacts in museums or private collections.Photo: Daniel Schwen

Some of these were apparently temple offerings[edit]

At least according to a sign at Northampton museum the ones in their collection were never meant to be worn but were meant to be temple offering. I can't currently find anything about it in RS.©Geni (talk) 23:05, 24 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
