[Tlc] Fwd: What kind of shoes are they, please?

[Charles Keyes]

	The Burke Museum at the University of Washington has received a query  
about a pair of 'Thai dancing shoes' at a museum in Herne, Germany.  
Would anyone on T/L/C be able to identify these shoes that were  
clearly never used for dancing.

	Please respond to Becky Andrews (randrew at u.washington.edu) at the  
Burke Museum, and cc Stevan Harrell, my colleague who forwarded the  
query to me.

Thanks,

Biff
