EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pair of Patten-type shoes with pegs, originating from Central Africa in the 1800s. Specifically, these unique shoes were crafted by the Kuba or Bushongo people in what is now known as the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The intricate details and craftsmanship are evident in this carved wood artifact. Measuring at an overall size of 6 x 10.2 cm (2 3/8 x 4 in. ), each part of these shoes tells a story. Part two measures at 4.5 cm (1 3/4 in. ), part three at 6 x 9.5 cm (2 3/8 x 3 3/4 in. ), and part four at a delicate size of only 3.2 cm (1 1/4 in. ). These dimensions highlight the meticulous attention to detail that went into creating such footwear. The use of pegs on these Patten-type shoes adds an intriguing element to their design, suggesting practicality and functionality for walking on uneven terrain or protecting against mud and dirt. This remarkable artifact not only serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Central Africa but also offers us a glimpse into the fashion choices and ingenuity of its people during the nineteenth century. As we admire this photograph, let us appreciate how artistry transcends time and place, connecting us to different cultures across history through objects like these Patten-type shoes from Central Africa's past.
