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/660546f843169bb4a00962976be3f0d3.JPG 2de5cc3bf03dbc025dbd185258174aeb https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/081cd5b854f3d0a8d753ff5c834c61a3.jpg 7349ee89c82af44e908aa5ec634a9475 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/d2b3d42ed105ccd7d2be7c22ea284cb2.jpg b15b602162649f4469d3ddf3b99bcd79 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/2332077036dad002b23bb84801998bb8.jpg 9e8ff7eff468a6059a1b0d8089cbf115 https://omeka.cloud.unimelb.edu.au/grainger/files/original/6d2633c2b7f90697699604a7447195a6.jpg f80097620a5a5f2c60588fbf82590fc9 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
