Title A name given to the resource Lotus shoes 莲花鞋 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Grainger Museum Identifier An unambiguous reference to the resource within a given context 04.5556 Subject The topic of the resource domestic objects; costume; shoes; Chinese material culture Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Unknown creator Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Grainger Museum Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource early twentieth century Description An account of the resource DESCRIPTION: silk, thread, linen, wooden base. OVERVIEW: Shoes are conical or sheath-shaped, intended to imitate the shape of lotus flowers. They are made of cotton or silk, so small that they can be put into the palm of your hand. Some designs have high heels or wedge soles. They are made in different styles and colours, usually ornately decorated and embroidered with animals or flowers, and they can continue to be used on soles. When wearing lotus shoes under a long skirt, it will bind the small feet. Although lotus shoes are no longer bound with women's feet, they are still exist as relics in museums or private collections. In history, it has provided so much cultural fascination and ethical debate of the traditional Chinese practice of foot binding. This kind of shoes will leave a beautiful lotus pattern when stepping on the soil, which is called "lotus shoes by steps". https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/ef3c5ef990c147c144c299267d56c08c.jpg 22e438902195278dafec39a3003f75c7 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
