Archaic Sandals

[Giannis K. Hoplite]

Last but not least, it was this magnificent piece of an ivory statue from Delphi that motivated me in trying to reconstruct it.

Other archeological finds i used were a pair of leather soles from the Kerameikos museum in Athens

In these soles there were some little bronze nails or rivets attached, visible mostly around the perimeter.
Also, a find that i found very interesting, a pir of cork inner soles from a child's shoes in the Amphipolis museum. These are most probably hellenistic though.
