Accession Number: M.79.162.2a (Left Shoe), M.79.162.2b (Right Shoe)


Label 1 (Left Shoe): Shoe Fashions, Bullock’s, Downtown, M82332-14, 5000, 1a327

This is a pair of black fabric shoes with 3 1/2” heels. Each shoe has a keyhole and a stylized, black satin bow on the pointed toes.

During deconstruction, the heels were removed.

The cut edges of the leather soles have been darkened and the heels have been attached to the wall to form coat hooks.

The accession numbers have been painted on the lower edge of each coat hook.
