This print showcases a remarkable artifact from the 1800s in Central Africa. The Patten-type Shoe, originating from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, specifically Kuba or Bushongo, is an exquisite example of craftsmanship and cultural significance. Carved meticulously out of wood, this shoe measures approximately 6 x 10.2 cm (2 3/8 x 4 in. ), offering a glimpse into the intricate details and artistry employed by its creator. The unique design of this patten type shoe reflects the ingenuity and practicality of African footwear during that era. It serves as a testament to the resourcefulness and adaptability of Central African communities who crafted such items for everyday use. Beyond its functional purpose, this shoe holds great historical value as it represents a specific period in time - the 19th century - when traditions were passed down through generations within these societies. Its presence evokes curiosity about how people lived their lives during that era and invites us to explore further into their customs and ways of life.
