A pair of muted pink satin slippers features pointed toes and rounded flaps crossing the instep. Gray-silver thread blooms into a multi-petaled flower on each toe, with delicate vines arcing toward the flaps, dotted with metal spangles. Cream fabric lines the interior. Aging is visible in frayed edges and dark pink marks at the tips and openings. The shoes rest side-by-side on a neutral gray surface.
