A colour photograph of a deteriorated Roman shoe sole, dark brown to black in colour, with numerous holes and signs of wear and decay. The leather object is laid flat on a white background, with a black measurement scale beneath showing a length of approximately 22 cm, leading to the belief that it was a child or woman's shoe. To the right, a cream-colored tag reads an accession number for museum cataloguing.

A sandal recovered from Slack. The shoe is likely that of a woman or child. The holes in the sole would have been for studs, to give the shoe grip.
