tapestry, ⅜″ wide with space of 5⁄16″ between, are applied
from edge to sole. Between, a different kind of tapestry
with pattern in buff lines.
A single line of round fine green braid runs down centre.

and on each band, in fine cable braid, are linked fleurs-de-lis.
Back of heel treated the same, but a single line in place
of fleurs-de-lis.
On each side of central bands in front is an elaborate
