The sandals are made of wood and overlaid with a marquetry veneer of bark, green leather, and gold foil on a stucco base Two human figures are depicted on the sole of each sandal under the arch of the foot. They represent Nubian (or Sub-Saharan African) and Asiatic captives. Under the toes is a representation of four bows and a similar number is shown under the heel.
