notes: label: Description
content: This is a child’s sandal made of woven straw. They are flat with double soles, and ankle straps made of straw rope covered with red cotton velvet. These shoes were collected by Frank G. Carpenter over the duration of 40 years of world travel. They were donated to the museum by his daughter, Francis Huntington, in 1926. The collection of shoes amassed by Carpenter provides not only unique examples of footwear around the globe, but the increasingly globalized landscape of the turn of the century.
