This pair of embroidered slippers is embroidered using silk threads, gold threads and sequins on a velvet base. The main decorative are created using metallic thread embroidery and silver ornaments. The motifs are raised in high relief and to create this effect, thin strips of cardboard are cut out and pasted onto the parts of the outlines intended to be highlighted. The designs are then embroidered with silk, gold or silver threads using the long and short stitch, the alternating stitch or the overlapping stitch. This pair is possibly a pair of wedding slippers worn on the other days of the wedding celebrations apart from the main celebrations. The heavy use of gold thread work served to identify this category of footwear.
