| The Manchu's (Qing) ruled China for 300 years until 1911. As a group they did not practice foot binding and tried but failed to abolish the practice in the general Chinese population. This typical handmade silk pair of woman's shoes is embroidered on both sides with birds and fauna motifs. The use of silk fabric and thread and leather front trim indicates that these were used by a woman of wealth. | ||||||||
