while i know that these lotus shoes (used for chinese foot binding) are basically instruments of torture, i can't help but find the shoes themselves incredibly beautiful. especially that first pair - the detail and embroidery, the heels, all of it - just so stunning. i am glad they still exist, as artifacts only.
