Waistband opening at the back, attached to narrower long ties. Pleats face towards centre seams, front and back. Flared panels are attached to each side of the back opening, which is carried on in the open inner leg seam, sewed together just above the ankle. Dark blue ribbons of shiny silk are attached to each inner leg seam at the bottom. There is a horizontal seam in the outer white fabric at about knee level.
Pair of man’s funeral shoes made of fine white leather. The sides are low, but there is an upward extension at the heel, which has a centre seam covered with five vertical cotton strings. Section covering toes is very short; the main body of each shoe is open. There is narrow piping finishing the vertical seam at the front of the toe section, and wider piping around the upper edge of the shoes. The soles are made of layers of natural brown leather slightly thicker at the toe and heel ends, and have numerous iron cleats at the front and heel. The soles are attached to the body of the shoes with a row of stitching around the edge of the soles, and there is a row of heavy, even stitches around the edge of the white leather. The shoes are lined with white leather, and have insoles of woven grey wool fabric.
Pair of light brown open-work shoes woven of straw. Soles are weft-faced, woven in four rows across the shoes with a decorative band under the arch consisting of two rows of shiny lighter-coloured material with a purple row between them. The heels are raised to a point ending in a single vertical element attached to a band extending around from the heel to the sides, where it is attached to a vertical element on each sides. The heel piece and band are wrapped in smooth, shiny plant fibre. The sides from the midpoint to the front consist of vertical twined strings wrapped in a dull brown material, all attached to the sole and to a band at the top which is wrapped in narrower strips of the same shiny yellow plant material. There is an opening at the centre front.
Pair of shoes each carved from a single piece of grey-brown wood with pronounced grain. Each is raised on two heels with a v-shaped space between them positioned at the arch and the heel with iron nails in the front heel. The shoes have low, rounded sides. Heels are concave (from the inside) and extend upwards at the back. The toes curve upwards and end in a point.
Pair of women’s shoes made of smooth black leather, lined with dark brown leather. The shoes have low sides but have a rounded extension up over the heel. The toe area is curved upwards and comes to a point. There is a central vertical seam closing the toe area, and a vertical seam at the heel, both with stitches concealed on the inside. The shoes are open along almost their entire length except for a small area over the toes. The opening is finished with narrow piping of the same material. The uppers are stitched to the soles with small even stitches of heavy thread. The rigid soles are formed of multiple layers of leather and taper in slightly except at the heel, which is slightly raised. The soles are covered with rows of iron hobnails except for the area under the arch.
Long coat with both the outer layer and lining made of fine white cotton fabric. The coat is made of ten flared vertical panels. It overlaps to the right, with two long, wide ribbons of the same fabric for ties. The coat is secured on the inside with shorter, narrow ties of the same material, positioned at the same level. When closed, the overlap forms a V neck edged with a stiff collar covered with shiny white fabric patterned with characters. The ribbon ties are centred at the lower ends of inner and outer facings with rounded edges. The sleeves are attached with a vertical seam somewhat beyond the shoulder and have a lower seam shaped in a convex curve, narrowing to the wrist. There is a small underarm reinforcement on each side, with an additional rectangular reinforcement or repair in the left underarm. At waist level there are openings at each side. All seams are concealed.
