Shoe Fragment 1976.14.94 and Bladder Bag 1976.14.95
Octavius Seowtewa: This one is part of a shoe. You can see where two pieces of leather, the sewing, you can see the stitching (points). This is the top, this is the heel. There are three places where you can see the stitching.
Fumi Arakawa: That’s so cool.
Octavius Seowtewa: You can see where it is outlined and where the heel was. There are two pieces of leather that are stitched together. You want to show it to them.
Fumi Arakawa: It’s leather. And this one too.
Octavius Seowtewa: It’s really thin because as it dried, it got really thin because it doesn’t stretch anymore.
Fumi Arakawa: So it’s for storing water?
Octavius Seowtewa: Yea. To carry water.
