Hello all,

On the bottom the shoes with the nailed sole, on the bottom left the =
gloves,
which are fingerless, to be exact, which means, they do not have any =
traces
of fingerholes, the end with the knuckles. Only the thumb is attached
seperatly, but has no tip.
It is decorated with a stamped leave motive.
The material is described as being "wildleder" (suede), a person who has
seen them described them as being made from very soft leather, I think, =
it
is chamois tanned deerskin.

For the shoes compare e.g.:
