The extant specimens include a Roman leather shoe (No. =344=) of cut leather work, found in London; slippers from Antinoe in Egypt (No. =345=), with coloured and cut leather work; a pair of cork soles from Egypt (No. =346=), the edges of which were formerly gilt. A well-preserved pair of soles is exhibited (No. =347=). They are made of wood, divided at the instep, and plated with bronze, held in place by iron nails. These appear to be of Etruscan origin, as several examples have been found at Vulci (_Mus. Etr. Vat., I._, pl. 57, fig. 7). The sandal in its simplest form, as in the vase B 587 (No. =348=), consists of a sole attached to the foot by thongs passing between the great and second toes, and round the heel. The arrangement of the thongs gradually became more elaborate, with the result that the uncomfortable separation of the toes could be avoided. In the case of the foot of the Hermes of Olympia (No. =349=; fig. 141) there is no toe-thong, but only a reminiscence of the ornament from which it formerly started. An undershoe or sock now became possible, and the shoe and laced sandal in combination (cf. the statue of Mausolos, about 350 B.C.) became highly elaborate. See also the cast of a relief in the Third Graeco-Roman Room (No. =350=) and the feet in marble and bronze. In effect, the result was not greatly different from the Roman military boot (_caliga_) bound up the leg with thongs. [Illustration: FIG. 141.--FOOT OF THE HERMES OF OLYMPIA (NO. 349). 1:9.] [Illustration: FIG. 142.--BRONZE STATUETTE OF A NEGRO SLAVE CLEANING A BOOT (NO. 355). 1:2.] A simpler boot or shoe of modern pattern was also in use. In its plainest forms it represents the Roman boot (_calceus_). Several examples (No. =351=) are shown in this case. See also a vase (No. =352=) in the form of a modern lace-boot. The nails on the sole are arranged so as to impress _alpha_ and _omega_, and the mystic symbol of the _swastika_ on the ground. A delicate gold model of a boot (No. =353=) has [Illustration] [Greek: patou] "walk!" (?) on the sole. A shoe has been found in Egypt, impressing at every step the invitation [Greek: AKOLOUTHEI] ("follow!") The shoemaker at work in his workshop is seen in the fifth century kylix (E 86; No. =354=). He is in the act of cutting the leather with the semicircular knife of the form still in use. In conclusion, attention should be drawn to the bronze statuette (No. =355=; fig. 142) of a kneeling negro slave cleaning a boot. On Greek Dress, cf. Lady Evans, _Greek Dress_; E. B.
