The are from the northern part of the Fujian province. The shoes are made of Japanese cloth. Dr. Ko indicates that the Japanese had already entered Fujian by the time these shoes were manufactured. Ther cloth may be from Taiwan. The shoes have clearly been worn several times. Based on the design and color, they may have been wedding shoes. Dr. Ko dates the shoes to circa 1925. Ko believes these shoes, as well as e329726 and e329728 may have been manufactured by the same woman.
