( With 5,000 years of history for China, this item does not quite fall into the ancient period, but never mind ).

High-born women with bound feet (lotus feet) wore tiny shoes and could barely walk.   So, here's my Lotus Feet Shoes for the young Huang Hou ( Empress ) to my young Emperor.

Created in Shade 8 and Poser Pro.  Again, texture source is the cdrom accompanying Chinese Patterns, a book by Pepin van Roojen, The Pepin Press, published in 2003.

I made it into a left shoe prop and a right shoe prop inside Poser Pro.  Managed to avoid the severely slanting v-shape facet clusters.
