A horizontally oriented kidskin slipper tapers to a pointed toe at our right. Faded, light green bands and heavy creasing mark the off-white exterior. At the left, a low heel with a dark base supports the rounded back. Frayed edges line the opening, revealing a cream-colored fabric interior with a vertical seam. A thin green strap crosses the midsection. Small dark spots and abrasions dot the thin, weathered material.
