Pair of shoes

Shoes are rare in museum collections. These shoes could be grave goods or could have been found in a suddenly abandoned dwelling. In Tambo Colorado, an Inca site on the south coast of Peru, which was apparently abandoned very quickly, numerous objects of daily use were found, including adults' and children's shoes.
