Object Description |
This "shoe" is part of the costume for Big Spur, the University of South Carolina mascot preceding Cocky. This glove is part of a set; its partner is 2020.14.01m. The "shoe" was made to look like the foot of a rooster. The shoe is yellow in color with black lines drawn on to mimic the scales on the foot of chickens. The foot has three toes and a spur on the back. The top of the shoe (the yellow part) is made of a plastic/leather material and the sole is made of leather. The yellow material is stitched onto the sole. There is padding in the toes in order to maintain their shape. On the sole there are three nails hammered into the shoe (two at the toe-end and one at the heel-end), probably to secure the sole and/or the padding in the toes. There is a strap sewn across the interior top of the shoe, near the opening. The strap would secure the wearer's foot within the shoe. |
