content: As of 2009, T number catalogue card is missing. Woven straw sandals with cloth ties. Old label with artifact: "From Japanese Warrior Exhibit. World's Col. Ex. / 1893. Apparently not cataloged." Sandals from a male exhibit mannequin. Probably from the only mannequin in the group of six mannequins depicting Samurai that was not dressed in armor, # E168800-2? See Neg. # MNH411H (circa 1960) for a photo of this mannequin with clothing on, including sandals. Only the inner garment of the clothing from this mannequin was saved, and is # ET449; the outer jacket and trousers were discarded in 1960 as too damaged to be retained. Photo Neg. # MNH411 is image of the entire group of 6 mannequins depicting Samurai. It appears that the mannequin group is what was catalogued as E168800, part of Accession No. 27832. Group was originally exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair of 1893.
