Antique Chinese silk sashes for lotus shoe leggings
A properly dressed Chinese woman would wear a pair of leggings which would cover her foot bindings from her lower leg to the top of her lotus shoes. The leggings would be tied into place with a hand loomed sash made specifically for that purpose. These lotus shoe accessories are now rare and very hard to find. This pair of silk sashes were were woven with an diamond pattern which runs the length of the ribbon, and the long warp end threads are braided into tassels.

This pair is in excellent condition. They are 27 inches long plus a 5 inch tassels on each end.
